After the first biosensor, based on the use of an enzyme, the scientists realized that the biorecognition events that regularly occurs in nature are an important model to design biosensors and/or synthetic molecules able to mimic the activity of some biomolecules to perform the biorecognition. This chapter is focused on the critical discussion of these different biorecognition elements: I) Biological molecules like enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids, lectins, antimicrobial peptides and phages; II) Synthetic molecules like nuleic acids analogues, aptamers and molecularly imprinted polymers; III) Tissues and bacterial cells IV) Other biorecognition elements.
