Abstract

From the last decade, Nanoscience and nanotechnology have been multiple explored for vast research in medical science. Different optical and structural properties of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are great interest in the nanoparticle based drug delivery bio-imaging, pharmaceutical applications for mankind. ZnO nanoparticles are useful for sunscreen lotion, various cosmetic products, Drug Delivery, Biomedical imaging, Gene delivery, Biosensors, MRI, and therapy. Due to the large free surface energy, nanoparticles (NPs) are highly reactive. Hence they interact with bio molecules. Before different biomedical applications of ZnO nanoparticles, it is useful to study their effect on biomolecules. This mini review discusses about the different biomedical applications of ZnO nanoparticles and the interaction of ZnO nanoparticles with protein molecules as reported by the different researchers.
