Journal ArticleDOI
The role of collagen in bone apatite formation in the presence of hydroxyapatite nucleation inhibitors
Fabio Nudelman,K. Pieterse,Anne George,Phh Paul Bomans,Heiner Friedrich,Laura J. Brylka,Peter A. J. Hilbers,Nico A. J. M. Sommerdijk +7 more
TL;DR: A model describing the mechanisms through which the structure, supramolecular assembly and charge distribution of collagen can control mineralization in the presence of inhibitors of hydroxyapatite nucleation is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mollusk shell formation: a source of new concepts for understanding biomineralization processes.
TL;DR: The biological approach to forming crystals is proving to be most surprising as mentioned in this paper, as mollusks build their shells by using a hydrophobic silk gel, very acidic aspartic acid rich proteins and apparently also an amorphous precursor phase from which the crystals form.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomineralization as an Inspiration for Materials Chemistry
TL;DR: It is shown that the application of in situ techniques to study and visualize the bio-inspired materials is of paramount importance to understand, control, and optimize their preparation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mollusk shell formation: mapping the distribution of organic matrix components underlying a single aragonitic tablet in nacre.
TL;DR: Immuno-mapping of the constituents of the aragonite-nucleating protein fraction from Atrina nacre showed that these macromolecules are located both in the intertabular matrix and in the center of the crystal imprints for both Atrina and Nautilus matrix surfaces, consistent with their purported role in aragonites nucleation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spiers Memorial Lecture : Lessons from biomineralization: comparing the growth strategies of mollusc shell prismatic and nacreous layers in Atrina rigida
TL;DR: The mollusc shell prismatic layer of Atrina rigida is composed of an assemblage of large and relatively perfect single calcite crystals, embedded in an organic matrix as mentioned in this paper.
