The transducer transforms concentration of substrate or product to electrical signal that is ampli- fiedandfurtherprocessed.Thebiosensorsmayutilizeenzymes,antibodies,nucleic acids, organelles, plant and animal tissue, whole organism or organs. Biosensors containing biological catalysts (enzymes) are called catalytical biosensors. These typeofbiosensorsarethemostabundant,andtheyfoundthelargestapplicationin medicine,ecology,andenvironmentalmonitoring. The action of catalytical biosensors is associated with substrate diffusion into biocatalytical membrane and it conversion to a product. The modeling of biosen- sorsinvolvessolvingthediffusionequationsforsubstrateandproductwithaterm containing a rate of biocatalytical transformation of substrate. The complications ofmodelingarise duetosolvingofpartiallydifferentialequationswith non-linear biocatalyticaltermandwithcomplexboundaryandinitialconditions. The book starts with the modeling biosensors by analytical solution of partial differential equations. Historically this method was used to describe fundamental features of biosensors action though it is limited by substrate concentration, and is applicable for simple biocatalytical processes. Using this method the action of biosensorswasanalyzedatcriticalconcentrationsofsubstrateandenzymeactivity. Thesubstratesconversioninsingleandmultienzymemembraneswasstudied.The different schemes of substrates conversion which found practical application for biosensorsconstructionwereanalyzed.Thebiosensorsdynamicswasconsideredat thesimplestschemeofbiocatalyzeraction. Theotherpartofthebookcoversdigitalmodelingofbiosensors.Thebiosensors basedonamperometricaswellaspotentiometrictransducersareconsidered.Theac- tionofbiosensorscontainingsingleandmultienzymesweremodeledusingthefinite differencetechniqueatnonstationaryandsteadystate.Specialemphasiswasplaced to model biosensors utilizing a complex biocatalytical conversion and biosensors withmultiparttransducersgeometryandbiocatalyticalmembranesstructure. Thefinalpartofthebookisdedicatedtothebasicconceptsofthetheoryofthe difference schemes for the digital solving of linear diffusion equations which are basisforbiosensorsmodeling. vii viii Preface Thebookcanberecommendedforthemasteranddoctoralstudiesaswellasfor specialstudiesofbiosensorsmodeling.ThePart3canalsobeusedforindependent studyofdigitalsolutionofdifferentialequations.
