Provided is a method of treating or preventing adenovirus and enterovirus infection by administering an antiviral composition that contains anextract, aextract, or combinations thereof. The antiviral composition blocks adenoviruses and enterovirus infection through virucidal activity against adenovirus and inhibition of adenovirus and enterovirus attachment to and penetration into cells. Also provided is a method of preparing the antiviral composition.

Methods of treating or preventing viral infection by using plant extracts

Embodiments of the present disclosure set forth a sensor for detecting a target of interest. One example sensor may comprise an apparatus for binding the target of interest and a draining unit for draining fluid from the apparatus. The apparatus may comprise a substrate, a material disposed on the substrate, and a probe disposed on the material and configured to bind to the target of interest. The probe is configured on the material to scatter light emitted from a light source when the target of interest is bound to the probe.

Sensor for detection of a target of interest

Embodiments of the present disclosure set forth a biosensor for detecting a target. One example sensor includes a first electrode. The first electrode includes a first electron conducting molecule and a first probe. The first probe includes a second electron conducting molecule. The first probe is configured to bind to the target of interest in solution. The first and second electron conducting molecules are different.
