Short Description
This essential primer is accessible for anyone requiring clear discussion of the cutting edge nanotechnologies used for the analysis of biological principles, and an understanding of the nanostructural basis of biology. This text provides an introduction and overview of this interdisciplinary field, merging the physical and biological sciences. It concludes with the authors' expert assessment of the future promise of nanotechnology.
Discussions of the basic structural, nanotechnology, and system engineering principles, as well as an introductory overview of essential concepts and methods in biotechnology, will be included.
Text is presented side-by-side with extensive use of high-quality illustrations prepared using cutting edge computer graphics techniques.
Includes numerous examples, such applications in genetic engineering.
Represents the only available introduction and overview of this interdisciplinary field, merging the physical and biological sciences.
Concludes with the authors' expert assessment of the future promise of nanotechnology, from molecular "tinkertoys" to nanomedicine.
David Goodsell is author of two trade books, Machinery of Life and Our Molecular Nature, and Arthur Olson is the world's leader in molecular graphics and nano-scale representation.
