Feasibility study for the use of (modified) gelatin as a matrix for biomolecules with the aim of developing electrochemical biosensors.

To accomplish a sensitive monitoring in health care, food industry and environmental monitoring, there is a high need for rapid, inexpensive and reliable detection methods. Electrochemical biosensors contain these characteristics and are thus ideal for detection of specific target molecules. The main questions of this research are: "Is gelatin, or modified gelatin, a good matrix for biomolecules?", or even more: "Does a (modified) gelatin matrix provide opportunities for the development of sustainable, high quality biosensors?"

Keywords:BIOSENSORS, PROTEINS, GLOBINS
