摘要

Is there anything more to discover? This is a question that scientists, clinicians, and engineers ask of themselves during their pursuit of the ways to explain the function of natural systems. Just when you think it is safe to turn off the computer, there is yet another publication of a new twist to an explanation for a physical, chemical, or biological function. The new twists are usually found at smaller and smaller observational scales, and hence the appetite for scientists, clinicians, and engineers to apply nanoscale measurements to their investigations. When applied to biomedical problems, this need for nanoscaled measurements is generally considered in the realm of nanobiotechnology, where the function of the cell membrane and membrane-incorporated proteins are important. Such studies have been previously described in the context of the nanobiotechnology of biomimetic membranes [1].
