Self-Assembled Bio-Nanomaterials

<p>Biomolecular self-assembly provides a green facile and highly effective method to synthesize various functional nanomaterials that have exhibited considerable potential in the fields of nanotechnology materials science biomedicine tissue engineering food science energy storage and environmental science. In this collection of articles we presented recent advance in the synthesis characterization and applications of self-assembled bio-nanomaterials. In a comprehensive review article the controlled self-assembly of biomolecules including DNA protein peptide enzymes virus and biopolymers via internal interactions and external simulations is introduced and discussed in detail. In other research articles the self-assembly of DNA protein peptide bio-drugs liquid crystal polycarbonates and diblock copolymers to various biomimetic/bioinspired nanomaterials and their potential applications in nanopatterning sensors/biosensors drug delivery anti-parasite and water purification are demonstrated.</p>
