Keywords:
biochip, biosensor, glycans, spectroscopy, voltammetryAbstract
Glycan biochips and biosensors are potentially important tools for detection of glycan – protein interactions. Among several applications they can be used for rapid and precise diagnosis of various diseases and infections. Two major detection techniques available for construction of glycan biochips and biosensors – fluorescent labelled and label-free methods are discussed.
