Nanobioelectronics: for electronics, biology, and medicine

The range of themes addressed in this book emphasize key aspects and the future perspectives of nano-bioelectronics. The book discusses the electronic coupling of DNA and proteins with electronic devices to build new information systems and to apply the systems as biosensors. The exploitation of networks of neurons connected with electronic devices in future information processing systems and the use of nano-objects to assess cellular function is also discussed in detail. The topics of these hybrid nano-bioelectronic systems are both interesting for fundamental research and to enhance industrial competitiveness through research, education, and transfer of technology. One of the first books onnanobiotechnology, this volume will survey the many results in this rapidly developing field INDICE: Preface.- Introduction.- DNA-Mediated Assembly of Metal Nanoparticles Fabrication, Structural Features and Electrical Properties.- DNA -based Nano-Electronics.- DNA Detection with Metallic Nanoparticles.- Label-free Detection of DNA using Field-effect Transistors.- Nanoelectronic Devices Based on Proteins.- S-Layer Proteins for Assembling Ordered Nanoparticle Arrays.- Electrochemical Biosensing of Redox Proteins and Enzymes.- Ion Channels in Tethered Bilayer Lipid Membranes on Au Electrodes.- Fluorescent Nanocrystals and Proteins.- Spontaneous and synchronous firing activity in solitary micro-cultures of cortical neurons on chemically patterned multi-electrode arrays.- Nanomaterials for Neural Interfaces; Emerging New Function and Potential Applications.- Neurons on Transistors.- Hybrid Nanoparticles for Cellular Applications.- Conclusion.- Index.
