Synthetic biology is a new discipline that combines science and engineering
approaches to precisely control biological networks. These signaling networks are
especially important in fields such as biomedicine and biochemical engineering.
Additionally, biological networks can also be critical to the production of
naturally occurring biological nanomaterials, and as a result, synthetic biology
holds tremendous potential in creating new materials. This review introduces the
field of synthetic biology, discusses how biological systems naturally produce
materials, and then presents examples and strategies for incorporating synthetic
biology approaches in the development of new materials. In particular, strategies
for using synthetic biology to produce both organic and inorganic nanomaterials
are discussed. Ultimately, synthetic biology holds the potential to dramatically
impact biological materials science with significant potential applications in
medical systems.
