In this review, we present the points of view on the intrinsic properties of graphene and its surface engineering concerned with the transduction mechanisms in biosensing applications. We explain practical synthesis techniques along with prospective properties of the graphene-based materials, which include the pristine graphene and functionalized graphene (i.e., graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and graphene quantum dot (GQD). The biosensing mechanisms based on the utilization of the charge interactions with biomolecules and\/or nanoparticle interactions and sensing platforms are also discussed, and the importance of surface functionalization in recent up-to-date biosensors for biological and medical applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s17102161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,21]],"date-time":"2017-09-21T12:17:40Z","timestamp":1505996260000},"page":"2161","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":451,"title":["Graphene-Based Materials for Biosensors: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Phitsini","family":"Suvarnaphaet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Rangsit University, Pathum Thani 12000, Thailand"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9105-8627","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suejit","family":"Pechprasarn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Rangsit University, Pathum Thani 12000, Thailand"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Touhami, A.
