Modelling magnetite biomineralisation : the interactions of proteins and Fe3O4 surfaces

The biosynthesis of magnetite is the earliest known example of biomineralisation; how-ever, much of the detailed atomistic mechanisms by which the process occurs are unknown. Within the bacterial strain Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1, the formation of mag-netite nanoparticles is thought to occur...
