Nanobiotechnology
vs Bionanotechnology
Introduction
They are certainly two different things. As a biotechnologist,
it is utmost important to understand the narrow difference between these terms.
Nanobiotechnology and Bio-nanotechnology are different. These are the branches
of biotechnology and biology involving the nano particle for human use. they
are using engineering technique including chemical, material, physical and
biological sciences.
One thing is common in both the Branches Nano particle. Nano
particle: Ultrafine particle , very small microscopic, tiny particle called
nanoparticle. In nanotechnology, a particle is defined as a small object that behaves
as a whole unit with respect to its transport and properties. Particles are
further classified according to diameter. Ultrafine particles, or
nanoparticles, are between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. Nanoparticles are
basicly microscopic particles. Nanotechnology is the technology used to
manipulate these nonoparticles for human use.
Bionanotechnology, nanobiotechnology, and nanobiology are terms
that refer to the intersection of nanotechnology and biology. Below details
find useful to distinguish between the Nano-biotechnology and
Bio-nanotechnology
Bio-nanotechnology (1)
In bio-nanotechnology, we learn from natural biosystems to
develop similar nanomaterials. In other words, roughly, it is the application
of biotechnology in nanotechnology. Example, developing nanomotors inspired
from ATP-synthase protein.
On the other hand, nano-biotechnology is the use of
nanomaterials in biotechnological applications. Use of gold, silver nanoparticles
in microbiology, medicine and diagnostics and such applications could actually
revolutionize the field of biotechnology by allowing the early diagnosis of
disease, the on-line monitoring of therapeutic procedures. Read more online to
get deeper distinctions, these are preliminary.
Bio-nanotechnology (2)
It is a fusion of biology and nanotechnology based on the
principles and chemical pathways of living organisms, and refers to the
functional applications of biomolecules in nanotechnology. It encompasses the
study, creation, and illumination of the connections between structural
molecular biology, nutrition and nanotechnology, since the development of
techniques of nanotechnology might be guided by studying the structure and
function of the natural nano-molecules found in living cells. Biology offers a
window into the most sophisticated collection of functional nanostructures that
exists.
Bionanotechnology involves the fields : :
• Nanotechnology in nutrition and medicine
• Nanotechnology, health and food technology applications
• Nanotechnology and other versatile applications
• Nanomaterial manufacturing
• Applications of microscopy in nano particles.
Nanobiotechnology
Refers to the ways that nanotechnology is used to create devices
to study biological systems. The imaging of native biomolecules, biological
membranes, and tissues is also a major topic for the nanobiology and
nanobiotechnology researchers
The possibility to exploit the structures and processes of
biomolecules for novel functional materials, biosensors, bioelectronics and
medical applications has created the rapidly growing field of
Nanobiotechnology.
Nanobiotechnology is the contributions from bioorganic and
bioinorganic chemistry, molecular biology, materials science and bioanalytics
to fathom the full scope of current and future developments.
It is divided into four main sections:
* Interphase Systems
* Protein-based Nanostructures
* DNA-based Nanostructures
* Nanoanalytics
"This is for chemists, biologists and materials scientists
who want to explore the fascinating world of nanobiotechnology.
