Bionanotechnology

Bionanotechnology is an inter-disciplinary area of research that placed at the interface of chemistry, biology, materials science, engineering and medicine. The exploitation of the inherent properties of nucleic acid like DNA to create useful materials is a promising area of modern research. Proteins that self-assemble to produce functional materials could be used as an innovative method for the significant production of programmable nanomaterials. Also, virus like nanoparticle plays a very important role in bionanotechnology due to their monodisperse nature and biocompatibility. The major area of research in bionanotechnology are DNA bionanotechnology and Lipid bionanotechnology.
