Nanomedicine book from C.H.I.P.S.

Nanobiotechnology
Concepts, Applications and Perspectives
edited by
C. M. Niemeyer
and C. A. Mirkin

Nanobiotechnology has been designed as a broad survey of the field and combines contributions from bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, molecular biology, materials science and bioanalytics to fathom the full scope of future developments.

Divided into four main sections, it discusses current strategies as well as future developments:

  • Interphase systems
  • Protein-based nanostructures
  • DNA-based nanostructures
  • Nanoanalytics
Each chapter covers current methods and numerous references to the primary literature, making this the perfect "field guide" for chemists, biologists and materials scientists wishing to explore the fascinating world of nanobiotechnology.
