Calcium carbonate biomineralization: A theoretical and experimental investigation of biomolecular controls on nucleation and growth
Organisms have evolved a remarkable ability to mineralize complex skeletons and functional biomaterials. These structures are nucleated and grown in close associaiton with macromolecular assemblages of proteins and polysaccharides that are implicated in regulating all stagees of mineralization. Beca...
