Abstract

Biological nanomaterials, also known as biomaterials, are materials derived from or inspired by biological systems, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and viruses. This chapter provides an overview of the synthesis, characterization, and applications of biological nanomaterials. We begin by discussing the properties and synthesis methods of these materials, including genetic engineering, chemical modification, and self-assembly. Next, we describe their characterization techniques, such as electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography, and circular dichroism. The chapter also explores the various applications of biological nanomaterials, including in drug delivery, tissue engineering, biosensors, and biocatalysis. Moreover, we highlight the challenges associated with their large-scale production and commercialization, such as immunogenicity, stability, and regulatory issues. Finally, the chapter concludes with a summary of the current state of research and suggests possible directions for future work in this exciting field.
