Nanotechnology
Creation of useful materials, devices, and systems
through the manipulation of matter on nanometer
scale.
- Generally nanotechnology deals with structures sized
between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension.
Ability to design systems with defined structure and
function on the nanometer scale.
Involves developing materials, devices within that
size, and analytical tools (methodology), which can be
used for analysis and measurement on a molecular scale
Interdisciplinary area :

Future implications of nanotech
Nanotechnology may be able to create many new
materials and devices with a vast range of applications,
such as in medicine, biomaterials, electronics, and energy
production.
Nanotechnology raises many of the same issues as with
any introduction of new technology, including concerns
about the toxicity and environmental impact of
nanomaterials, and their potential effects on global
economics.

Implementation
The size of Things
NanoBiotech was initiated by the development of AFM
that enables imaging at atomic level in 1980
AFM (Atomic Force Microscope)
One of the foremost tools
for imaging, measuring, and
manipulating matters at the nanoscale.
A cantilever with a sharp tip (probe)
at its end that is used to scan
the specimen surface
When the top is brought into a close
proximity of a sample surface,
force between the tip and sample leads
to a deflection of the cantilever according to
Hooke’s law
Deflection is measured using a laser spot
reflected from the top surface of the
cantilever into an array of photodiode

Biomedical & Biological Sciences :
Ultra-sensitive imaging of biological targets under non-invasive in-vivo
conditions
Fluorescence, positron emission tomography, Magnetic resonance
imaging
Ultra-sensitive imaging
- Cancer detection, cell migration, gene expression, localization of
proteins, angiogenesis, apotosis
- MRI : Powerful imaging tool as a result of non-invasive nature,
high spatial resolution and tomographic capability
Resolution is highly dependent on the molecular imaging agents
Signal enhancement by using contrast agents : iron oxide nanoparticles

Biosystems
• Inherent capabilities of molecular recognition
and self-assembly
• Attractive template for constructing and
organizing the nano-structures
• Proteins, toxin, coat proteins of virus etc.
α -Hemolysin: Self-Assembling Transmembrane Pore
A self-assembling bacterial exo-toxin produced by some
pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus as a way to obtain
nutrients lysis of red blood cells
Alpha-hemolysin monomers bind to the outer membrane
of susceptible cells.
Monomers oligomerize to form a water-filled heptameric
transmembrane channel that facilitates uncontrolled
permeation of water, ions, and small organic molecules.
Rapid discharge of vital molecules, such as ATP,
dissipation of the membrane potential and ionic gradients,
and irreversible osmotic swelling leading to the cell wall
rupture (lysis), can cause death of the host cell.
- Mushroom-like shape
with a 50 A beta-barrel stem
- Narrowest part (1.4 nm in diameter) of
channel at the base of stem
Biotechnological applications :Stochastic sensors
A molecular adaptor is placed inside its engineered stem, influencing
the transmembrane ionic current induced by an applied voltage
Reversible binding of analytes to the molecular adaptor transiently
reduces the ionic current
- Magnitude of the current reduction : type of analyte
- Frequency of current reduction intervals: analyte concentration
Stochastic Sensors
a : Histidine captured metal ions (Zn+2, Co+2, mixture )
b: CD captures anions (promethazine, imipramine, mixture)
c : biotin ligand
DNA sequencing

macromolecules like DNA or RNA
