This third edition volume expands on the previous editions with updates on the latest methods for synthesis, surface modification, characterization, and application of nanoparticles in life science, drug delivery, and diagnostics. The chapters in this book are organized into five parts: gold nanomaterials; inorganic oxide and magnetic nanomaterials; carbon and 2D materials nanoparticles; polymers, biopolymers, and lipid nanoparticles; and protein engineering, molecular docking, and modeling protein adsorption on nanoparticles. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Innovative and practical, Nanoparticles in Biology and Medicine: Methods and Protocols, Third Edition will introduce this fascinating field to novice researchers while also providing scientists at all levels of expertise with easy-to-follow practical advice needed to make, modify, and analyze nanoparticles of their choice. This book will also help them use these particles in a wide range of biomedical and pharmaceutical applications including functional protein studies, drug delivery, immunochemistry, imaging, and more.
