Molecular Biomimetics and Molecular Assembly

Abstract

Molecular biomimetics is mimicking the structures and functions of biological systems at the molecular scale via molecular assembly of biomolecules or synthetic components. It not only provides experimental models for guiding researches on biological mutation and evolution in organisms, but also opens up new avenues for the design and fabrication of novel functional materials. In this chapter, main contents of individual chapters are briefly introduced to give readers an overview of this book.
