Abstract
Lysozyme (LYZ) is a critical enzyme recognized for its significant antimicrobial properties, playing an integral role in the immune response and being implicated in various diseases, including infections and inflammatory conditions. Traditional detection methods for LYZ, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and spectrophotometric techniques, often encounter limitations regarding sensitivity, specificity, and time efficiency. In light of these challenges, there has been substantial advancement in the development of novel biosensor technologies over the past two decades, particularly those that incorporate nanomaterials. These innovative biosensors demonstrate enhanced performance, facilitating rapid and accurate detection of LYZ at low concentrations. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recently developed biosensors specifically for LYZ, highlighting their design, functionality, and applications in clinical diagnostics and research. Unlike previous reviews, we place a distinct emphasis on the clinical importance of LYZ and its role in various diseases, thereby elucidating its significance in health and disease contexts. Additionally, we will explore the implications of advanced detection methods, particularly those utilizing nanomaterials, for enhancing our understanding of LYZ-related pathologies. By focusing on nanoscale detection techniques, which have not been thoroughly addressed in existing literature, we underscore the transformative potential of these biosensors in LYZ detection. This approach not only contributes to improved disease management but also informs therapeutic strategies, setting our review apart from prior works.
期刊介绍:
Enzyme and Microbial Technology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research and reviews, of biotechnological significance and novelty, on basic and applied aspects of the science and technology of processes involving the use of enzymes, micro-organisms, animal cells and plant cells.
We especially encourage submissions on:
Biocatalysis and the use of Directed Evolution in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology
Biotechnological Production of New Bioactive Molecules, Biomaterials, Biopharmaceuticals, and Biofuels
New Imaging Techniques and Biosensors, especially as applicable to Healthcare and Systems Biology
New Biotechnological Approaches in Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
Metabolic Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering and Nanobiotechnology
Manuscripts which report isolation, purification, immobilization or utilization of organisms or enzymes which are already well-described in the literature are not suitable for publication in EMT, unless their primary purpose is to report significant new findings or approaches which are of broad biotechnological importance. Similarly, manuscripts which report optimization studies on well-established processes are inappropriate. EMT does not accept papers dealing with mathematical modeling unless they report significant, new experimental data.
