ABSTRACT
Nanomaterials are at the leading edge of the rapidly developing field of nanotechnology. Nanoparticles
(NPs) usually form the core of nanobiomaterials [1]. The unique size-dependent physical and chemical
properties of NPs make them superior to other currently used materials in many areas of human activity.
Typical size dimensions of biomolecular components are in the range of 5-200 nm, which is comparable
with the dimensions of man-made NPs. Using NPs as biomolecular probes allows us to probe biological
processes without interfering with them [2].
