Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in enzyme-based biosensors have propelled these devices to the forefront of analytical technologies, offering enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, and versatility in various applications. Enzyme-based biosensors leverage the catalytic activity of enzymes to convert biochemical reactions into measurable signals, providing valuable information about the presence and concentration of specific target analytes. However, the enzymes employed in these biosensors are intact and face challenges regarding stability, reproducibility, cost-effectiveness, biocompatibility, and biodegradation, underscoring the complexity and multi-faceted nature of biosensor development. Thus, researchers are actively seeking alternative approaches to address these challenges by exploring cutting-edge technologies, such as nanotechnology, advanced materials, microfluidics, and artificial intelligence, to promote the development of more robust, sensitive, and versatile analytical tools with broad applications in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and beyond.
Therefore, this Special Issue, “Enzyme Biosensors: Challenges and Future Perspectives”, encourages researchers and experts in the field to share their recent findings, insights, and methodologies to contribute to the collective knowledge base and drive further advancements in enzyme-based biosensors.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
