Research on nanometer-sized structures has become one of the fastest growing fields of science, due to the reason of being small. From the standpoint of a biological system, submicron-sized nano-objects are generally much smaller than most cells, but are similar in size to many subcellular components, cellular organelles, and microorganisms. Most eukaryotic cells have a typical size of a few tens of microns in diameter. Then the submicron-sized biological objects can be regarded as ‘biological nanostructures’ as compared to ‘synthetic nanostructures’. Supramolecular nanostructures covered with bioactive functional molecules have been actively explored as promising nanobiomaterials. Recent advances in nano-sized science, combined with appropriate bioactive functionalization, has led to the successful utilization of supramolecular nanostructures in diverse biomaterials applications. In this talk, my recent efforts to make self-assembled bioactive nanostructures will be presented. |
