Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural enzymes are biocatalysts that control many catalytic physiological processes, such as metabolism, nutrition, and diseases. However, natural enzymes are easy to deactivate because they work under very mild physiological conditions. Therefore, they are unsuitable for reactions that do not occur under physiological conditions and for large-scale use in early disease diagnosis.
As powerful tools, nanoenzymes broaden the ways in which we can explore bioinspired solutions to early disease diagnosis concerns. Efforts to create novel nanoenzymes for effective electrode functionalization are generating innovative and viable nanomaterials with high catalytic activity, low cost, high stability and versatility, and simple production. The high chemo-selectivity and broad functional group tolerance of nanoenzymes with an intrinsic enzyme-like activity make them a potential environmental tool for performing early disease diagnosis.

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.
