The synthesis of nanoparticles by organisms or biomolecules is ideal from the point of a reduced environmental footprint. It is also particularly suitable for end uses in medicine and related fields, where biocompatibility is a major requirement. In this chapter, the current progress in biological and biomimetic synthesis of metal nanoparticles is summarized (using nanogold and nanosilver as examples). In particular, the differences between biological/biomimetic syntheses and conventional chemical syntheses are highlighted, and the fundamental principles involved are discussed. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000 \u0000noble metals; \u0000nanomaterials; \u0000biosynthesis; \u0000biomimetic synthesis; \u0000green chemistry; \u0000microorganisms; \u0000proteins; \u0000peptides","PeriodicalId":312946,"journal":{"name":"Nanotechnologies for the Life Sciences","volume":"283 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122953991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
