E-raamat: Fluorescent Chemosensors

This book will bring together world-leading experts, to describe the current state of play in the field and introduce the cutting-edge research and possible future directions into fluorescent chemosensors design.

Fluorescent chemosensors have been widely applied in many diverse fields such as biology, physiology, pharmacology, and environmental sciences. The interdisciplinary nature of chemosensor research has continued to grow over the last 25 years to meet the increasing needs of monitoring our environment and health. More recently, a large range of fluorescent chemosensors have been established for the detection of biologically and/or environmentally important species and are increasingly being used to solve biological problems. The use of these molecules as imaging probes to diagnose and treat disease is gaining momentum with clear future applications. This book brings together world-leading experts to describe the current state of play in the field of fluorescent chemosensor design, introducing cutting-edge research and considering future directions. Chapters focus on the basic principles involved in the design of chemosensors for specific analytes, problems and challenges in the field. Concentrating on advanced techniques and methods, the book is tailored to academics and researchers across a number of disciplines.
