Nanotechnology is considered as one of the emerging fields of
science. It has applications in different biological and
technological fields which deal with the science of materials at
nanoscale (10-9). On the other hand, biotechnology is another field
that deals with contemporary challenges. Nanobiotechnology fills
the gap between these two fields. It merges physical, chemical, and
biological principles in a single realm. This combination opens up
new possibilities. At nanoscale dimensions, it creates precise
nanocrystals and nanoshells. Integrated nanomaterials are used with
modified surface layers for compatibility with living systems,
improved dissolution in water, or biorecognition leading to
enhanced end results in biotechnological systems. These
nanoparticles can also be hybridized with additional biocompatible
substances in order to amend their qualities to inculcate novel
utilities. Nanobiotechnology is used in bioconjugate chemistry by
coalescing up the functionality of non-organically obtained
molecular components and biological molecules in order to veil the
immunogenic moieties for targeted drug delivery, bioimaging and
biosensing. This book blends the science of biology, medicine,
bioinorganic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, material and physical
sciences, biomedical engineering, electrical, mechanical, and
chemical science to present a comprehensive range of advancements.
The development of nano-based materials has made for a greater
understanding of their characterization, using techniques such as
transmission electron microscope, FTIR, X-ray diffraction, scanning
electron microscope EDX, and so on. This volume also highlights
uses in environmental remediation, environmental biosensors and
environmental protection. It also emphasizes the significance of
nanobiotechnology to a series of medical applications viz.,
diagnostics, and therapeutics stem cell technology, tissue
engineering enzyme engineering, drug development and delivery. In
addition this book also offers a distinctive understanding of
nanobiotechnology from researchers and educators and gives a
comprehensive facility for future developments and current
applications of nanobiotechnology.
