Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009. - 249 p. - Bionanodesigns are
improving our understanding of biomolecular folding and structure.
This practical guide to molecular nanotechnology describes the
concept of, and provides rules for, building nanostructures from
basics. It is, in essence, a fully referenced review, placed in the
context of de novo biomolecular design. The book details current
approaches to designing novel nanoarchitectures that rely on the
structural principles of natural self-assembly pattes. Specific
applications are used as examples to highlight particular areas of
progress in the field. These include an artificial virus for gene
therapy and artificial extracellular matrices for regenerative
medicine. Illustrations and references provide an essential support
to the text and a special appendix lists "who's who in nanodesign".
