Application of a Functional Nanospace to Molecular Recognition

Abstract

Electrical and electrochemical techniques are very useful in the field of biosensing, owing to their simple handling as signal conversion units. It is necessary to develop a recognition unit for identifying a target substance with a high selectivity for the purpose of biosensing. From the viewpoint of molecular recognition, the author has studied the formation of a nanometer-sized space. This paper provides an overview of our research on biosensing using the nanometer-sized space functionally.
