Calixarenes are the most easily derivatized of the common supramolecular host systems, and tens of thousands of calixarene derivatives have been synthesized. In order to focus this discussion. Sect. 23.2 of this chapter will present selected examples of calixarenes binding to amino acids, peptides, and proteins, with some examples that provide general lessons in calixarene chemistry and biomolec-ular recognition. A Table that serves as an index for all reported equilibrium constants, including solution conditions, is presented at the end of Sect. 23.2. Section 23.3 of the Chapter will report on recent efforts to use calixarenes in both host-guest and scaffold modes as the basis for new biomolecular technologies.

The goal of this chapter will be to provide an overview of the use of planar, optically resonant nanophotonic devices for biomolecular detection. Nanophotonics23 24 represents the fusion of nanotechnology with optics and thus it is proposed that sensors based on this technology can combine the advantages of each as discussed above. Although many of the issues are the same, we focus here on optical resonance rather than plasmonic resonance (such as is used in emerging local SPR and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy-based biosensors).

One of the key technologies required for fabricating biomolecular electronic devices concerns with molecular assembly of electronic proteins such as redox enzymes in monolayer scale on the electrode surface. Furthermore the molecularly assembled electronic proteins are required to be electronically communicated with the electrode. Individual protein molecules on the electrode surface should be electronically accessed through the electrode.

The optimization of biocatalysts for the production of bio-based performance materials and nanocomposites is another necessary development to produce new composites. It also includes the combination of nano-biotechnological methodologies with catalysis for the construction of sensor surfaces and microelectronic technologies for the read out of biomolecular interactions. Examples are new... 

Currently, the methods employed for genetic testing are labor intensive and intricate and demand the concurrent analysis of multiple nucleic acid markers. Microarray technology is undeniably the most practical approach to multiplex and analyze biomolecular markers.
