Biopolymers: introduction
Proteins (muscles, skin, hair, nails, enzymes)
DNA (information storage polymer)
Carbohydrates (energy storage, structural components)
Biopolymers are polymers that bio-degrade with the action of micro-organisms, heat and moisture. There is no specific standard for biodegradation.Biopolymers can be made using waste starch from a crop that has been grown for food use.

Biopolymers versus man-made polymers
Biopolymers are made from biomass.
Man made polymers are often made from the petroleum feedstock.
Increased use of bio-polymers would reduce the dependence on fossil fuels; another advantage is that biopolymers are easily bio-degradable.

Biomacromolecular structural organizationMonomers are the simple building blocks that when polymerized yield a macromolecule.
Primary structure is the sequence of monomeric residues in the covalently linked biopolymer. This arrangement is linear for nucleic acids and proteins, but may be branched in polysaccharides.
Secondary structure is the local regular structure of a macromolecule or a specific region of the molecule.
These are helical, pleated and coil structures.
Tertiary structure describes the global three-dimensional fold or topology of the macromolecule, relating the positions of each atom and residue in three-dimensional space.
Quaternary structure is the spatial arrangement of multiple distinct polymeric chains (subunits) that form a functional complex.
Quinternary structure refers to the association of one class of bio-macromolecules with another class of bio-macromolecules to form complexes of cellular components such as histone (DNA-protein), ribosome (RNA-protein) and glycoprotein (oligo-saccharide-protein)

Nucleotides: constituents of Nucleic acids
The structure and properties of nucleic acids are affected and inherited fromfrom the general structure characteristics of their monomer molecules andnucleotides. Nucelotides are the phosphate esters of nucleosides, which arecomponents of both ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).All nucleotides are constructed from three components:
1. a nitrogen base2. a pentose sugar3. a phosphate residue

Some advantages of using DNA in nano-engineering
The enormous specificity of the A:T and G:C base pair interaction allowsthe convenient programming of designed DNA receptors.
The great versatility to synthesize DNAs of desired sequence, and the possibilityto amplify any sequence from microscopic to macroscopic quantities by PCR.
DNA displays a relatively high physicochemical stability
The availablity of specific enzymes allows for processing of DNA materials
