Electrochemical Biosensors Based on Enzyme Inhibition Effect.

Several electrochemical biosensors based on various enzyme inhibition effects have been designed; their laboratory prototypes have been manufactured and thoroughly investigated. It should be noted that such biosensors are adapted to large-scale production technologies. A number of advantages and disadvantages of developed biosensors based on enzyme inhibition has been discussed. It is important that all developed biosensors are not opposite to traditional analytical methods, but complement them. This is an additional system of quick and early warning about the presence of toxic substances in the environment. Such systems can save time and money in emergencies due to the possibility of quick decision-making on local environmental problems. If necessary, more accurate, but time-consuming and expensive traditional methods could be used for further validation and additional research of samples previously tested by biosensors.
