Opis

This book provides a comprehensive overview of biomotors (molecular motors) within the body with a specific concentration on revolving molecular motors. The bioengineering of these new revolving molecular motors will go a long way in creating machines that will be able to carry RNA and DNA drugs directly to diseased cells to destroy them. The book goes into specific details regarding the bioengineering, fabrication, synthesis, and future utilization of these devices for nanomedicine.

Recenzje

"The book has been clearly written. The illustrations are colorful, descriptive and are accompanied by animations. The layout serves both student and scientist alike. The test serves as both an excellent course syllabus for a course in nanotechnology and biomotors, and as a core reference for people conducting research in the field. The editors should be commended on developing a comprehensive treatise on biomotors."
