Abstract

With the advancement of life medicine, in vitro diagnostics (IVD) technology has become an auxiliary tool for early diagnosis of diseases. However, biosensors for IVD now face some disadvantages such as poor targeting, significant antifouling properties, low density of recognized molecules, and poor stability. In recent years, peptides have been demonstrated to have various functions in unnatural biological systems, such as targeting properties, antifouling properties, and self-assembly properties, which indicates thatpeptides can be engineered. These properties of peptides, combined with their good biocompatibility, can be well applied tothe design of biosensors to solve the problems mentioned above. This review provides an overview of the properties of engineered functional peptides and their applications in enhancing biosensor performance, mainly in the field of optics and electrochemistry.
