Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Molecular Biology and Material Science:

The mitochondrion, the chloroplast, the ribosome, and the replication and transcription complexes are all made up of nanostructures, which are the basic machines that power the cell's histones and proteasomes. Nanostructures are the pores and templates of zeolites and other crucially important structures in catalysis. The highest length scale over which a crystal may frequently be rendered virtually flawless is the nanometre. A completely new generation of sophisticated composites is possible if it is possible to perfectly control how impurities and imperfections interact with one another and therefore merge flawless inorganic and organic nanostructures.
