ABSTRACT
Self-assembly is the process of spontaneous arrangement of molecules into well-organized structures via non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction, hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions, etc. This process plays a key role in the formation of biological structures. Some common examples of biological self-assembly include the formation of liposomes, capsid formation in viruses, protein folding, S-layer protein self-assembly in bacteria, DNA self-assembly, etc. The fabrication of such biological self-assembled nanostructures is a crucial aspect of bionanotechnology due to their potential applications in biomedical sciences.
