A simple penicillinase functionalized two-dimensional photonic crystal hydrogel (2DPPCH) biosensor was developed for colorimetric detection of penicillin G and penicillinase inhibitors. The penicillinase can specifically recognize penicillin G and catalyze it to produce penicilloic acid, which decreases the pH of the hydrogel microenvironment and shrinks the pH-sensitive hydrogel. The particle spacing decrease of the 2D photonic crystal array induced by the hydrogel shrinkage further causes a blue-shift in the diffraction w
