Opis

Nanobiotechnology is a rapidly developing field of research. Ever more applications are emerging from all branches of nanobiotechnology in medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics, chemical and agro-industry. The book presents the basics, fundamental results and latest achievements of nanobiotechnological research. It extends as far as promising applications of new nanomaterials and newly dicovered nanoeffects. Additionally, a large variety of nanobio-analysis methods is presented. The book will appeal to graduate students, researchers and engineers.
