Surface recognition of biomacromolecules using nanoparticle receptors

Ayush Verma and Vincent M. Rotello

Nanoparticles present a versatile scaffold to target biomacromolecule surfaces via complementary interactions. This review highlights some unique features of nanoparticles that make them particularly attractive resources for biomacromolecular recognition, and displays their use in modulation of structure and function of biomacromolecules.
