The authors discuss new types of biosurfactants; mixtures of surfactants; and peptides, proteins, and polyelectrolytes. They also describe the formation and properties of magnetic colloids and review their applications in chemical biology and medicine. They highlight current progress in the design of self-assembled materials for biotechnology, and they also cover the formation of nanofibres and the use of sol-gel technology in biology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eContains contributions from a diverse team of researchers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapter authors have been given the freedom to present the spectrum of the relevant science, from pure to applied, in their particular topic.
