A novel biosensor based on chemiluminescent-DNA nanomachine for life biomarker detection in planetary exploration
Several studies reported the presence of organic compounds in extraterrestrial environments, thus one of the main objectives of the research in the field of exobiology is the search for organic molecules and compounds in planetary exploration missions and the identification of their biological or non-biological origin. To reach this goal, devices capable of analyzing in-situ material samples searching for organic molecules, amino acids, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and other biological systems molecules are under development.
