Biomimetic bioreceptor based biosensors are designed and fabricated to mimic antibody, enzyme, cell, or nucleic acid bioreceptors are emerging as molecular imprinting tools attractive to and highly accepted for artificial recognition agents [79] . Glycol codes with a variety of carbohydrate residues provide highly specific affinity lock-in properties, and can be used to detect a wide ranges of virus pathogens [80] . Artificial molecularly imprinted receptors can recognise and bind various targeting molecules with high affinity and specificity [81] . They have advantages compared to their biological counterparts, such as resistance to microbial spoilage, long-term stability, custom synthesis, and potential reusability. They do not require animal inoculation for virus detection and their rebinding properties are useful and exceptionally successful.
