Protein nanotechnology: the new frontier in biosciences.
The combination of nanotechnology and molecular biology has led to a new generation of nanoscale-based devices and methods for probing the cell machinery and elucidating intimate life processes occurring at the molecular level that were heretofore invisible to human inquiry. This chapter provides a brief overview of the field of nanotechnology and its applications to the study, design, and use of protein systems in biology and medicine.
