  • Biomolecular Engineering for Nanobio/Bionanotechnology
    Nagamune Nano Convergence (2017) 4:9 DOI 10.1186/s40580-017-0103-4 REVIEW Open Access Biomolecular engineering for nanobio/ bionanotechnology Teruyuki Nagamune* Abstract Biomolecular engineering can be used to purposefully manipulate biomolecules, such as peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids, within the framework of the relations among their structures, functions and properties, as well as their applicability to such areas as developing novel biomaterials, biosensing, bioimaging, and clinical diagnostics and therapeutics. Nanotechnology can also be used to design and tune the sizes, shapes, properties and functionality of nanomaterials. As such, there are considerable overlaps between nanotechnology and biomolecular engineering, in that both are concerned with the structure and behavior of materials on the nanometer scale or smaller. Therefore, in combination with nanotechnology, biomolecular engineering is expected to open up new felds of nanobio/ bionanotechnology and to contribute to the development of novel nanobiomaterials, nanobiodevices and nanobio- systems. This review highlights recent studies using engineered biological molecules (e.g., oligonucleotides, peptides, proteins, enzymes, polysaccharides, lipids, biological cofactors and ligands) combined with functional nanomaterials in nanobio/bionanotechnology applications, including therapeutics, diagnostics, biosensing, bioanalysis and biocata- lysts. Furthermore, this review focuses on fve areas of recent advances in biomolecular engineering: (a) nucleic acid engineering,
