Nanobiotecnología: una descripción general
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La nanobiotecnología representa la faceta más intrigante que pudo alguna vez haber alcanzado en sí la tecnología al servicio del ser humano. Al tomar ventaja de las características adquiridas por los organismos vivos en el curso de su evolución, más las propiedades únicas que los materiales presentan a nanoescala, esta nueva tecnología nos promete el desarrollo de dispositivos con una complejidad nunca antes imaginada. Por ejemplo, biotecnología de nanoestructuras basadas en péptidos, proteínas e incluso virus y bacterias, todas ellas combinadas con nanoestructuras inorgánicas, dando lugar a la formación de nuevos materiales bionanohíbridos con vastas aplicaciones en el área de las ciencias de la vida y de los materiales. En una forma general, la nanobiotecnología abarca el estudio, diseño y creación de líneas de conexión entre la biología estructural y la nanotecnología molecular, recalcando que su desarrollo no habría sido posible sin un esfuerzo conjunto y multidiciplinario de todas las áreas de la ciencia. En esta revisión se presenta un fascinante universo de nuevos materiales en la escala 1x10–09 metros cuyas aplicaciones pueden hacernos reflexionar hacia donde se dirigen nuestros días futuros. Sin embargo, dada la vasta cantidad de artículos científicos publicados en el área, la presente revisión solamente se ha enfocado en el uso de nanotubos de carbono para el desarrollo de nanobiodispositivos, y se apoya en aproximadamente un centenar de referencias científicas.
