Abstract
Enzyme molecular films have been synthesized for biosensors by two different LB film technologies. The one is based on the deposition of a protein LB film which is followed by bioaffinity self assembling to form enzyme films. The other is the two-step method involving the formation of phospholipid monolayer and the adsorption of enzyme molecules. The characteristics of these enzyme molecular films are described.
Two biosensors have currently been developed in association with the protein LB film technology. These involve an enzyme sensor fabricated by the two-step LB film technology and an optical sensor for taste. The principles and characteristics of these sensors are presented.
