The understanding of the nanoscale physical properties of biomolecules and biomaterials will ultimately promote the research in the biological sciences. In this review, we focused on theory, simulation, and experiments involving nanoscale materials inspired by biological systems. Specifically, self-assembly in living and synthetic materials, bio-functionalized nanomaterials and probing techniques that use nanomaterials are discussed.
