Electrochemical Metal Ion Sensors. Exploiting Amino Acids and Peptides as Recognition Elements

Amino acids and peptides are known to bind metal ions, in some cases very strongly. There are only a few examples of exploiting this binding in sensors. The review covers the current literature on the interaction of peptides and metals and the electrochemistry of bound metal ions. Peptides may be co...
