A Fractal Analysis of Chemical Kinetics with Applications to Biological and Biosensor Interfaces

A Fractal Analysis of the Kinetics of Binding and Dissociation of Different Analytes on Biosensor Surfaces analyzes the kinetics of binding and dissociation of different analytes by different biosensor techniques, demonstrating and then comparing each. Emphasis is placed on newer instrumentation techniques, such as SPRi (surface plasmon resonance imaging), and classical techniques, such as SPR (surface plasmon resonance), and finally, DNA biosensors and nanobiosensors. In addition, a final capstone chapter includes biosensor economics. These topics are all covered in one comprehensive book in a way that cannot be found elsewhere.

Analyzes the kinetics of binding on biosensor surfacesPresents and compares different biosensor techniquesProvides insights into the binding and dissociation mechanisms of analytes on biosensor surfacesLinks the heterogeneity of biosensor surfaces to dissociation rate coefficients
