abstract = "Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) fluoresce in the near-infrared (NIR), which overlaps with the optical transparency window of biological samples. Their biocompatibility, lack of photobleaching, and ease of surface functionalization render them ideal for optical sensing. We highlight strategies to monitor enzymatic activity using SWCNTs, including incorporating enzyme-specific target bonds in the SWCNT corona or detecting the hydrolytic products of enzymatic activity. These approaches enable sensitive, real-time monitoring of enzymatic processes. Recent applications in clinically relevant samples showcase the potential of SWCNT-based sensors in advancing biomedical diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring.",
