Biofunctional Materials

Biofunctional materials are biomolecules which are functionalized for material design. Biomolecules are highly attractive materials because of their attractive properties like storage and release of water, biological signalling, and even they can form biofunctional matrix which can be useful to host living cells. We cannot rebuild biomolecules but we can modify them and use it in material design to acquire required properties. We can adjust their properties by using different conjugation techniques. Various conjugation techniques can be used in order to integrate additional functional groups into them.
