The illegal use of explosives by terrorists and other criminals is an increasing issue in public spaces, such as airports, railway stations, highways, sports venues, theaters, and other large buildings. The fast and extremely sensitive detection of explosives is one of the most relevant tasks to guarantee security in areas of public access. 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a small chemical compound, which is best known as an explosive material with convenient handling properties. In this study the binding between an antibody and TNT was analyzed.
