Explores the fairly recent combination of inorganic sol-gel matrices with proteins and other biomolecules to create an array of new functional materials and provide insights on the activity of biomolecules. Among the topics are the entrapment of various useful enzymes and whole cells; applications in immunoassays; potential applications as implants; biochemically doped sol-gel materials with magnetic properties, optical sensitivities, and electrochemical activities; the accessibility of an entrapped protein; and the use of sol-gel doping to elucidate a biosynthetic pathway. The 18 articles are reprinted from a special issue of the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology , v.7, nos.1/2 (August 1996). Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
