It is exhibited in lipids forming membranes, the formation of double helical DNA, and the assembly of proteins to form quaternary structures. Because they occur in nature, it is believed that self-assembled molecules are more compatible in biosystems than other systems—thus self-assembly continues to be a hot technique in nanobiotechnology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book describes techniques of synthesis and self-assembly of macromolecules for developing new materials and improving functionality of existing ones.
