Abstract
Synthetic sensing materials (artificial receptors) are some of the most attractive components of chemical/biosensors because of their long-term stability and low cost of production. However, the strategy for the practical design of these materials toward specific molecular recognition in water is not established yet. For the construction of artificial material-based chemical/biosensors, the bottom-up assembly of these materials is one of the effective methods. This is because the driving forces of molecular recognition on the receptors could be enhanced by the integration of such kinds of materials at the ‘interfaces’, such as the boundary portion between the liquid and solid phases. Additionally, the molecular assembly of such self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can easily be installed in transducer devices. Thus, we believe that nanosensor platforms that consist of synthetic receptor membranes on the transducer surfaces can be applied to powerful tools for high-throughput analyses of the required targets. In this review, we briefly summarize a comprehensive overview that includes the preparation techniques for molecular assemblies, the characterization methods of the interfaces, and a few examples of receptor assembly-based chemical/biosensing platforms on each transduction mechanism.
