Preface
Molecular biomimetics is an emerging active field and important frontier with interdisciplinary subjects of chemistry, physics, molecular biology, and nanotechnology. Taking lessons from biology, molecular biomimetic is the attempt to construct new highly ordered supramolecular structures through artificial molecule design and assembly at molecular level, which mimic the structures and functions of a unit or organ in biological systems. It is based on the fact that many biomolecules or bioactive molecules like polysaccharides, lipid, peptide, proteins, and dendrimers can self-assemble into well-defined structures and further to a supramolecular architecture while combining with other organic, inorganic, or metal oxide compounds. The molecular biomimetic approach opens up new avenues for the design and utilization of multifunctional molecular systems with a wide range of applications in nanotechnology and biotechnology. In this book, we present recent achievements in biomimetic systems based on supramolecular chemistry and their potential applications in the biomedical field. These include biomimetic membranes, biomacromolecules supramolecular chemis
