Abstract

AbstractNanotechnology is revolutionizing the way that sensing, electronic, optical, and medical devices are designed because the properties of nanostructures are distinct from their bulk-material counterparts. The incorporation of nanomaterials into devices and sensors to exploit their unique properties has been a challenge because they must be functionalized in a manner that does not destroy their properties. Biological macromolecules can non-covalently or covalently bind to nanomaterials, resulting in the formation of biofunctionalized nanoparticles. These biofunctionalized nanoparticles are exemplified by the peptide-mediated suspension of carbon nanotubes in solution and the templating of bimetallic nanoparticles using multifunctional peptides.
