This chapter focuses on how to apply concepts and methods in supramolecular chemistry to sense biologically relevant targets in vitro. On the basis of the type of supramolecular materials, the chapter is divided into three parts, including small molecules, polymers, and natural biological molecule-nanomaterial hybrids. Important sensing principles and highlighted examples, such as optical, mass-sensitive, or electrochemical biosensors, are also presented. 

Modification of Electrode Surfaces with Metallo Phthalocyanine Nanomaterial Hybrids... 

In studies of reactions in nanomaterials, biochemical reactions within the cell, and other systems with small length scales, it is necessary to deal with reactive dynamics on a mesoscale level that incorporates the effects of molecular fluctuations. In such systems mean field kinetic approaches may lose their validity. In this section we show how hybrid MPC-MD schemes can be generalized to treat chemical reactions. 

N anomaterials have been around for hundreds of years and are typically defined as particles of size ranging from 1 to 100 nm in at least one dimension. The inorganic nanomaterial catalysts discussed here are manganese oxides and titanium dioxide. Outside the scope of this chapter are polymers, pillared clays, coordination compounds, and inorganic-organic hybrid materials such as metal-organic frameworks.
