Review Bionanotechnology

Goodsell does an excellent job describing the uses of biological machines in nanotechnology. He talks about an already existing assembler can be used to build molecular machines. He also describes the mechanisms by which these machines are structurally assembled and the different molecules that are used to form the machines. He describes the vast benefits of these machines in today's world and also the limitations of bionanotechnology. The illustrations in this book show the structures of naturally occuring molecular machines which help the reader better understand the complicated material. Overall this book is difficult but interesting read that can provide an insight into the world of bionanotechnology which continues to be expanded upon today.
