Note: In general, nano-reactors can be divided into two groups of natural and synthetic nano-reactors. The first group has a more selectable but more complex function, while the second group has more diversity and a simpler structure.
Natural Nano-Reactors The most ideal nano- cells and cellular organelles have lipid membranes. These nano- reactors are selectable. This means that they are able to differentiate between different molecules and only allow certain molecules to enter their internal cavity. In addition to selectivity, cells also have sensitivity to the pore in the membrane, which is opened and closed by external stimuli such as pH change. Selectivity and sensitivity are characteristic of all natural nano reactors. It is used in the production of nano sensors.
Synthetic Nano Reactors
Synthetic molecules are nano-reactors that are easier to control than natural types. Synthetic reactors are more diverse and simple in structure, and various molecules and large types of molecules are used to make synthetic nanoreactors. Synthetic nanoreactors include molecular nanoreactors, porous solids , nanotubes, shell-core nanostructures, mini-emulsions. Although protein shells are unique natural structures for catalyzing reactions at the nanometer scale, these compounds are extremely complex. Synthetic molecules are nano-reactors that are easier to control than natural types . Synthetic reactors are more versatile and have a simple structure, and various molecules and large types of molecules Used for the preparation of synthetic nanoreactors, an example of these nanoreactors having selective, temperature-sensitive branches has been used as a homogeneous catalyst for thiol oxidation, with synthetic reactors having a more diverse and structured nature. They are simple, and various molecules and large types of molecules are used to make synthetic nanoreactors.
Conclusion :
Nano-structured materials that are electrically conductive allow the production of inexpensive and portable biosensors (biosensors) and biodegraders . These substances can be considered as warning signs and can therefore be used in hazardous environments. Tracking single molecules by photon detectors is another example of nano-microelectronics applications in the biological sciences.
