Abstract

Nature-inspired electrochemical biosensors are a new class of sensing devices that emerged from the complex biological processes that occur in living organisms. These sensors use biological materials, such as enzymes and antibodies, to detect and measure specific biomolecules in a sample. Alternatively, bioinspired synthetic materials and operating principles may also be used to create even cheaper, simpler, and more practical systems. By mimicking the structure and function of the biological systems, these nature-inspired electrochemical biosensors offer high sensitivity, specificity, and selectivity, making them ideal for a wide range of applications, particularly in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety. This review will provide an overview of the principles behind these kinds of sensors, the different types of biological or artificial bioinspired materials used in their construction, and their current and potential applications in various fields.
