ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the status of new materials by organic and biological nanotechnology and their applications with respect to the development of organic and biological nanotechnology defining Nanobiotechnology and Nanobiosciences capable to yield a significant scientific and technological progress. Several molecules of native organic and biological origin being investigated in the last years are here summarized to exemplify potentially useful nanomaterials. In the case of overall cell proteins extraction, as required in Mass Spectrometry at the nanoscale, a protein extraction kit is typically chosen for the total protein extraction from cells. Gene technology as the key technique in this new direction of nanomaterials research may be the counterpart to photolithography in semiconductor technology. The problem of obtaining metalloproteins from microorganisms is crucial for development of applications in nanobiotechnology. The several notable advances in the field of conducting polymer nanocomposite materials are indeed used for the photovoltaic and Light-emitting diode devices.
