Biomimetic Materials Toward Application of Nanobiodevices

Abstract

Biology is inherently nano, with the focus on a cell, which is a warehouse of structures and functional units that are finely harmonized on the nanometer scale. New intelligent nanobiodevices and new nanostructures biomaterials are expected to speed up quantitative biomedical research, boost our diagnostic capabilities, and increase the length and quality of our lives. At the same time, nanostructures inspired by nature or created using biological processes are expected to reduce the production costs of new nanodevices making them accessible for the public. Nanobiotechnology is an emerging field that has made its contribution to all spheres of human life. The biological synthesis of nanoparticles has paved the way for better methodologies and approaches in the fabrication of nanobiodevices. There is an ever-increasing need to develop environmentally benign processes, i.e. biomimetic methods in place of synthetic protocols involving toxic ingredients. This is an economical, efficient, eco-friendly, and simple process. Progress in this area will provide new green paths in the development of controlled shape and size NPs. There is an enormous interest in exploiting biomimetic materials in variety of applications to nanobiodevices, such as nanobios"ensors and nanobioelectronic, as their size scale is similar to that of biological molecules (e.g., proteins, DNA, recombinant

Glucose Oxidase Immobilization on Guar Gum–Gelatin Dual-Templated Silica Hybrid Xerogel

“…Enzyme immobilization by adsorption is however associated with a serious problem of enzyme leakage that warrants new materials to achieve maximum bioactivity with minimum enzyme leakage. There has been recent interest in using nanomaterials , and biomimetic silica supports , for enzyme immobilization.…”
