Nanobiotechnology is a very recent emerging multidisciplinary field involving
biological research with various fields of nanotechnology. The most important
objectives involve applying nanotools to relevant medical/biological problems
and refining this application developing new tools for medical and biological
purposes. This technical approach to biology allows scientists to imagine and
create systems that can be used for biological research. Thus, computational
studies on this field will help to complement experimental techniques and will
result necessary and essential for a better understanding of several processes
within this field. We already applied computational approaches in several
fields related to this topic: 1) to design improved drugs based on
phenanthroline (phen) derivatives, 2) to understand the behavior of transition
metal functionalized graphene and 3) to characterize nanocapsules. Next step
is to try to put all these ideas together in order to fight against cancer and
antibiotic resistance.
