Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanozymes have great potential to be used as an alternative to natural enzymes in a variety of fields. The emerging applications of biosensors include analytical, environmental, and biomedical applications. Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes have the merits of low cost, high stability, and large-scale production. Since the pioneering work by Yan and co-workers in 2007, nanozymes with diverse enzyme-like activities have been identified and are widely used in biosensing, biomedicine, and biotherapy.
For this Special Issue, we welcome original research papers as well as reviews of current developments in the design of nanozyme-based biosensors. This includes the design of state-of-the-art nanozyme-based biosensors for analytical, environmental, and biomedical applications. Theoretical research on nanozymes with high specific activity is also encouraged. The design and development of the catalytic mechanism of nanozymes, rational engineering of active sites, and portable/handheld nanozyme-based platforms for point-of-care applications are of particular interest. Reviews should provide an in-depth examination of the most recent research in a specific context or discuss existing and future issues related to the nanozyme field.

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.
