Several advanced techniques are employed in biomolecular research within nanotechnology:
- Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): This technique is used to visualize the surface of biomolecules and their interactions with nanomaterials at the atomic level. - Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): SEM provides detailed images of biomolecules and nanomaterials, helping to understand their structure and composition. - X-ray Crystallography: This method is used to determine the 3D structure of biomolecules, which is crucial for designing nanotechnology-based applications. - Fluorescence Spectroscopy: This technique helps in studying the dynamics and interactions of biomolecules with nanomaterials by observing their fluorescence properties.
