The book is aimed at providing an exposure to some important topics which are generally not covered adequately in formal courses in biotechnology. It informs the readers about:

• How micro-fluidics are proving useful in enzyme kinetics.
• Chemi-proteomics; combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening in the context of drug discovery.
• How enzymes can be used with gaseous substrates?
• How to source more robust enzymes from marine resources for diverse applications?
• Why some nano-materials can be chiral?
• Synthesis of diverse quantum dots as powerful fluorescent probes in biology.
• How basics of surface chemistry and immunology are vital in dealing with endemics/pandemics like Covid-19.
