The Physical Model of the Long-Range Biological Nano-Objects Recognition
The problem of the long-range interaction between the biological objects such as bacteria and viruses is discussed. The mechanism of recognition by the long-range electrodynamical interaction was proposed. The mechanism is based on the dispersion interaction between the nanoparticles
characterized by the nonlinear and linear polarizabilities. The characteristic feature of the proposed mechanism is the dependence of the interaction between the particles on its shape, dimensions and relative positions. Numerical calculations were performed in the frame of the proposed mechanism.
It was shown that the interaction potential is characterized by the repulsive and attractive part with a minimum formed at the distance about the linear dimensions of the particles. The depth and position of the minimum strongly depends on the shape and orientation of the particles. Due to
this fact the model of the long-range recognition between the biological objects was proposed.

- Bionanoscience attempts to harness various functions of biological macromolecules and integrate them with engineering for technological applications. It is based on a bottom-up approach and encompasses structural biology, biomacromolecular engineering, material science, and engineering, extending the horizon of material science. The journal aims at publication of (i) Letters (ii) Reviews (3) Concepts (4) Rapid communications (5) Research papers (6) Book reviews (7) Conference announcements in the interface between chemistry, physics, biology, material science, and technology. The use of biological macromolecules as sensors, biomaterials, information storage devices, biomolecular arrays, molecular machines is significantly increasing. The traditional disciplines of chemistry, physics, and biology are overlapping and coalescing with nanoscale science and technology. Currently research in this area is scattered in different journals and this journal seeks to bring them under a single umbrella to ensure highest quality peer-reviewed research for rapid dissemination in areas that are in the forefront of science and technology which is witnessing phenomenal and accelerated growth.
