Surface engineering of nanoparticles controls the interaction of these materials with proteins and other biomolecules. These interactions provide an important tool for integrating synthetic and biological systems. We will discuss the use of nanoparticles to modulate the structure and function of proteins, the self‐assembly of proteins and nanoparticles to create multifunctional materials, and the construction of nanoparticle‐based sensors for the detection and identification of proteins and cells.
