摘要：Gelatin is a natural protein from animal tissue with excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, biosafety, low cost, and sol–gel property. By taking advantage of these properties, gelatin is considered to be an ideal component for the fabrication of biosensors. In recent years, biosensors with gelatin have been widely used for detecting various analytes, such as glucose, hydrogen peroxide, urea, amino acids, and pesticides, in the fields of medical diagnosis, food testing, and environmental monitoring. This perspective is an overview of the most recent trends and progress in the development of gelatin-based biosensors, which are classified by the function of gelatin as a matrix for immobilized biorecognition materials or as a biorecognition material for detecting target analytes.
