What are the Applications of Protein Denaturation in Nanotechnology?
1. Drug Delivery: Understanding protein denaturation can help in designing nanocarriers that protect protein drugs from denaturing conditions until they reach their target. 2. Biosensors: Stability of proteins used in biosensors is crucial for their sensitivity and accuracy. Nanotechnology aids in creating stable protein conjugates. 3. Food and Agriculture: Nanotechnology can be used to study protein denaturation in food processing, improving texture and nutritional value. 4. Medical Diagnostics: Protein denaturation principles are used in developing diagnostic tools that can detect denatured proteins, which are often biomarkers for diseases.
