Nanobiomedicine Designer DNA Architectures : Applications in Nanomedicine
DNA has been used as a material for the construction of nanoscale objects. These nanostructures are programmable and allow the conjugation of biomolecular guests to improve their functionality. DNA nanostructures display a wide variety of characteristics, such as cellular permeabil‐ ity, biocompatibility and stability, and responsiveness to external stimuli, making them excellent candidates for...
متن کاملBionanotechnology: The Novel Nanoparticles Based Approach for Disease Therapy
Bionanotechnology has probably been the most developing field in the last decade as an integration of biotechnology on the molecular level and nanotechnology. It provided new avenues of research and development to produce novel and new nanomaterials of medicinal applications which paved the way to the vibrant field of nanomedicine. This is dependent on combining biological norms with unique cha...
متن کاملThe role of molecular modeling in bionanotechnology.
Molecular modeling is advocated here as a key methodology for research and development in bionanotechnology. Molecular modeling provides nanoscale images at atomic and even electronic resolution, predicts the nanoscale interaction of unfamiliar combinations of biological and inorganic materials, and evaluates strategies for redesigning biopolymers for nanotechnological uses. The methodology is ...
متن کاملThe Current State of Bionanotechnology
Bionanotechnology is a combination of three terms: “bios” meaning “life,” “nano” (origin in Greek) meaning “dwarf,” and “technologia” (origin in Greek—comprised of “techne” meaning “craft,” and “logia” meaning “saying”), which is a broad term dealing with the use and knowledge of humanity’s tools and crafts. Biomolecular Nanotechnology—or Bionanotechnology—is a term coined for the area of study...
متن کاملStructural DNA Nanotechnology: State of the Art and Future Perspective
Over the past three decades DNA has emerged as an exceptional molecular building block for nanoconstruction due to its predictable conformation and programmable intra- and intermolecular Watson-Crick base-pairing interactions. A variety of convenient design rules and reliable assembly methods have been developed to engineer DNA nanostructures of increasing complexity. The ability to create desi...
