Surveying unique and modern biomolecular film methodologies and investigative techniques, this volume examines films of biomolecules that can provide solid surfaces for catalyzing enzyme reactions, serve in biosensors and as biorecognition elements, mediate nanoparticle formation, and provide a basis for fundamental studies and applications in biomedicine and biomedical devices.

Biomolecular Films: Design, Function, and Applications contains over 2,000 citations and discusses

• electrochemically active monolayer films of adsorbed proteins on self-assembled monolayers on electrode surfaces
• biomimetric lipid bilayer films on metals
• peptide- and protein-based biomolecular assemblies
• the application of surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy to protein adsorption and electrochemistry
• the application of scanning electrochemical microscopy to monolayers, biological cell surfaces, and tissues
• the applications of quartz crystal microbalance frequency analysis to layered protein films
• films designed for enzyme reactors
• films on electrodes designed for the enzyme cofactor NADH
