Prospects for the application of nanoparticles in modern biotechnological processes

Abstract

Nanobiotechnology is one of the most dynamic areas of modern science, combining the capabilities of molecular biology and nanoengineering. The use of nanoparticles (NPs) allows us to radically change approaches to cultivating producers, purifying biologically active substances (BAS) and creating targeted drug delivery systems. Of particular interest are magnetic nanoparticles, metal NPs (gold, silver) and liposomal structures, which, due to their high surface area to volume ratio, are able to effectively interact with biological objects at the molecular level. This opens up unique opportunities for overcoming biological barriers, increasing the stability of enzymes and developing biocompatible nanodrugs with specified pharmacokinetic properties.
