 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 16 Nanotechnology in biomedical applications Abstract Nano-technology and biochemistry, molecular biology will be integrated in the 21st century a profound impact on biomedicine. It will carry out material the use of biological macromolecular assembly, analysis and detection technology optimization, and drug targeting and gene therapy research into micro-, micro-fields of biotechnology with nanotechnology test for patients suffering from cancer only a few cells. Keywords: nano-technology; nano-biology; DNA nanotechnology The 20th century, 80 years began to study nano-technology in the 90’s was a breakthrough. Recently, the U.S. ‘Business Week’ list of 21 possible to achieve major breakthroughs in three areas: First, life sciences and biotechnology; second planet from the outside access to energy; third is nanotechnology. The so-called nanotechnology (Nanotechnology) is defined as a measure of less than 100 nm within the material and structure of manufacturing technologies, in fact, a kind of a single atom, molecular manufacturing materials science and technology [1]. Nano-technology in the new century will be to promote information technology, bio-medicine, environmental science, automation technology and energy development of science, will be a great impact on human life, clothing, food, housing, transportation, medical care and so on. This article will focus on nano-technology to the 21st century biomedical provide an overview of the potential impact. A nano-biological object of study Some people in the nanometer scale (level) to study the phenomenon of biological life is called nano-biology. Nano-structures usually refers to size of 1 nm ~ 100 nm in the range of micro-structure. One nanometer is equal to 10-9m, namely, the one billionth 1m. We know that cells with micron (10-6m) order of magnitude of the spatial scale of biological macromolecules with nanometer spatial scale. Between them is the level of sub-cellular structure, with
