Nanobiotechnology: From Molecules to Systems

ENGINEERING IN LIFE SCIENCES (ELECTRONIC), Issue 3 2004
H. Klefenz
Abstract Nanobiotechnology is a key enabling multidisciplinary field for medical, technological and biological research and development, medicine, pharmaceutical development, and analytical sciences. Its foundation is the selective integration of a multitude of endeavours, such as biotechnology, chemical and physical nanotechnology, materials sciences, chemistry, engineering, electronics and optronics targeting the construction of micro- and nano-arrays for analyzing complex mixtures of DNA, RNA, proteins, metabolites as well as the design of ultra-sequencing devices, microbial fuel cells, implantates, molecular motors, artificial organs, and nanorobots. The developments in nanobiotechnology benefit from and contribute to the scientific advances in the chemical and physical nanotechnologies, in particular with respect to materials, composites, nanostructuring techniques, carbon nanotubes, and nanoelectronics.

Photoswitches: From Molecules to Materials

ADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 31 2010
Maria-Melanie Russew
Abstract Small organic molecules, capable of undergoing efficient and reversible photochemical reactions to switch them between (at least) two (meta)stable isomers associated with markedly different properties, continue to impact the materials world. Such photoswitches are being implemented in a variety of materials for applications ranging from optical devices to "smart" polymers. All approaches exploit the photoswitching molecular entities as gates, which translate an incoming light stimulus to trigger macroscopic property changes of the materials. In this progress report, the most promising recent examples in this field are highlighted and put in perspective. Moving from supramolecular systems in solution to surfaces and finally to bulk materials, important design concepts are discussed, emphasizing both the challenges as well as the great promise of such truly advanced materials.

BSPR/EBI 2007 meeting report , Integrative Proteomics: From Molecules to Systems July 25,27, 2007 Wellcome Trust Conference Centre, Hinxton, UK

PROTEINS: STRUCTURE, FUNCTION AND BIOINFORMATICS, Issue 2 2008
Pamela Donoghue
Abstract This report reviews the joint British Society for Proteome Research (BSPR) and European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) 2007 meeting, ,Integrative Proteomics: From Molecules to Systems' which took place at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre, Hinxton, UK, from 25th to 27th July. The aim of this year's meeting was to explore how the integration of ,omic' technologies can lead to a comprehensive understanding of cellular organization, differentiation and signalling. Studies investigating protein,protein interactions and trafficking illustrated how the combination of proteomics and bioinformatics is allowing systems biology to develop as a discipline in its own right.
