Achieving signal specificity in nanotechnology involves several strategies:
1. Surface Functionalization: One common method is to functionalize the surface of nanoparticles or nanodevices with specific ligands or antibodies that bind selectively to the target molecule. 2. Structural Design: Designing the nanostructure itself to have specific binding sites or channels that fit only the intended target. 3. Environmental Control: Controlling the local environment around the nanodevice to favor specific interactions while minimizing non-specific ones.
