Explores bioconjugate properties and applications of
polymers, dendrimers, lipids, nanoparticles, and nanotubes

Bioconjugation has enabled breakthroughs across many areas of
industry and biomedicine. With its emphasis on synthesis,
properties and applications, this book enables readers to
understand the connection between chemistry and the biological
application of bioconjugated materials. Its detailed descriptions
of methods make it possible for researchers to fabricate and take
full advantage of bioconjugates for a broad range of applications.
Moreover, the book sets the foundation for the development of new
applications, including assays, imaging, biosensors, drug delivery,
and diagnostics.

Chemistry of Bioconjugates features contributions from an
international team of leading experts and pioneers in the field.
These contributions reflect the authors' firsthand laboratory
experience as well as a thorough review of the current literature.
The book's six sections examine:

* General methods of bioconjugation

* Polymer bioconjugates

* Organic nanoparticle-based bioconjugates

* Inorganic nanomaterial bioconjugates, including metals and
metal oxides

* Cell-based, hydrogel/microgel, and glyco-bioconjugates

* Characterization, physico-(bio)chemical properties, and
applications of bioconjugates

This comprehensive exploration of bioconjugates includes
discussions of polymers, dendrimers, lipids, nanoparticles, and
nanotubes. References at the end of each chapter serve as a gateway
to the most important original research findings and reviews in the
field.

By drawing together and analyzing all the latest chemical
methods and research findings on the physico-chemical and
biochemical properties of bioconjugates, Chemistry of
Bioconjugates sheds new light on the significance and potential
of bioconjugation. The book is recommended for organic and polymer
chemists, biochemists, biomaterial scientists, carbohydrate
chemists, biophysicists, bioengineers, and drug and gene delivery
scientists.
