Book description
A thorough, accessible, and general overview of chemosensors
Providing a comprehensive overview of chemosensorsÂ-organic molecules
designed to bind and sense small molecules or metal ionsÂ-and their
applications, Chemosensors: Principles, Strategies, and Applications
is an accessible one-stop resource for analysts, clinicians, and
graduate students studying advanced chemistry and chemosensing.
Chemosensors function on a molecular level, generating a signal upon
binding. The book reviews their synthesis, design, and applications
for detecting biological and organic molecules as well as metal ions.
The text highlights applications in drug discovery and catalyses that
have not been well covered elsewhere.
Covering such topics as molecular recognition, detection methods,
design strategies, and important biological issues, the book is broken
into four sections that examine intermolecular interactions,
strategies in sensor design, detection methods, and case studies in
metal, saccharide, and amino acid sensing.
An indispensable source of information for chemical and biomedical
experts using sensors, Chemosensors includes case studies to make the
material both accessible and understandable to chemists of all
backgrounds.
