Learn about the cutting-edge nanotechnologies that play an important role in clinical and medical therapies
Nucleic acids, the biomolecules that carry most of nature’s critical genetic information, are an omnipresent component of life on earth. Nanomaterials incorporating or otherwise built around nucleic acids and their key properties have a number of clinical and medical applications, including drug delivery and more. Biomaterials scientists and other professionals in these fields can benefit enormously from increased knowledge of these invaluable materials.
Nucleic Acid-Based Nanomaterials supplies a thorough, rigorous overview of these materials and their possible applications. Beginning with an introduction to the history of nanomaterials and their nucleic acid-based subcategories, the book offers a detailed and state-of-the-art survey of the current research into these molecules, efforts to increase their biostability, and their incorporation into a range of industries. The result is an essential contribution to materials science in a variety of life-saving contexts.
Nucleic Acid-Based Nanomaterials readers will also find: - Application-oriented structure that grounds general concepts in their specific instantiations- Detailed discussion of applications including drug delivery, tissue engineering, antimicrobial therapy, and more- A rigorous yet accessible approach suitable for both academia and industry
Nucleic Acid-Based Nanomaterials is ideal for chemists of all types, particularly biochemists and medical chemists, and those in industry.
