and needs. h ese newly developed bioconjugated nanoarchitectures are
expected to display even better properties than current nanobiointerfaces,
and hence impart excellent performance onto electrochemical biosen-
sors to further expand the realm of nanomaterial-based electrochemical
biosensors.
h e rapid recent progress and growing area of graphene and ZnO nano-
structures-based electrochemical biosensors will have a remarkable inl u-
ence on the development of new biosensing platforms for resolving our
future clinical diagnostics and understanding biological processes at a single
molecule level. However, there is still much room for scientii c research and
technological development of graphene and ZnO nanostructures-related
theory, materials, synthesis and applications. Many exciting opportunities
and challenges thus remain in the development and use of bioconjugated
graphene and ZnO nanostructures-based architectures for future bioelec-
tronic sensing applications that will have enormous implications for the
benei t of society and human health.
