Abstract
The main task in the antiterrorist defense is the prevention and/or the early detection of terroristic attacks. In the case of attacks carried out using the biological warfare, e.g. living agents or toxins, DNA – biosensors yield one of the most effective tools for early diagnostics. The main goal of this paper is to review recent results obtained in the past few years, within the framework of a NATO Science for Peace project creation of a reliable, sensitive, selective and noise protected prototype of a DNA biosensor. Currently we have: quantitative understanding of the mechanisms of hybridization in the bulk and on the surface; the main ways to improve DNA sensors sensitivity and selectivity; the electric scheme of the DNA – sensor prototype.
To the memory of the late Prof. Yuri Shunin (March 6, 1951 - April 5, 2018), a noble and gentle Soul, a kind Man and a deep Thinker, engaged constantly towards good things in Life and Science.
