Biomolecular engineering for nanobio/bionanotechnology

Biomolecular engineering can be used to purposefully manipulate biomolecules, such as peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids, within the framework of the relations among their structures, functions and properties, as well as their applicability to such areas as developing novel biomaterials, biosensing, bioimaging, and clinical diagnostics and therapeutics. Nanotechnology can also be used...

Rational design of thermally stable proteins: relevance to bionanotechnology.

Design of thermally stable proteins is spurred by their applications in bionanotechnology. There are three major issues governing this: first, the upper limit on the temperature at which proteins remain physiologically active and are available for technological applications (answers may emerge from the discovery of new, natural hyperthermophilic enzymes that are active above 125 degrees C or fr...

Bionanotechnology and Nanomedicine

This special issue contains contributions from the broad interdisciplinary fields of bionanotechnology and nanomedicine. Nanotechnology has great promise in biology and medicine. This includes new approaches to fundamental studies, improved methods for detection of protein or nucleic acid-based biomarkers of disease, and new ways to administer drugs or vaccines or enhancing their effects. The t...

Nanostencil and InkJet Printing for Bionanotechnology Applications

In this contribution we describe the application of Ink-Jet printing and Stencil Lithography in bionanotechnology. Both techniques are alternative patterning methods that can be used for the fabrication of biocompatible microand nanostructures out of the costly and restricted clean room environment. The applications presented in this contribution are 1) the cell patterning using Au dot arrays d...
