This handy reference details state-of-the-art preparation of molecular assemblies of biotechnologically relevant biomimetic systems (artificial proteins, peptides, molecular motors, photosensitive systems) with an emphasis on biomimetic membranes, capsules, and interfaces. Medical applications such as drug release, gene therapy, and tissue engineering as well as biosensing, biocatalysis, and energy storage are highlighted.

In diesem Band werden moderne Methoden der Herstellung molekularer Aggregate für biotechnologisch relevante biomimetische Systeme (künstliche Proteine, Peptide, molekulare Motoren, photosensitive Systeme) vorgestellt. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf biomimetischen Membranen, Kapseln und Grenzflächen.
