Taking Advantage of Disorder: Amorphous Calcium Carbonate and Its Roles in Biomineralization
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) in its pure form is highly unstable, yet some organisms produce stable ACC, and cases are known in which ACC functions as a transient precursor of more stable…

The biological approach to forming crystals is proving to be most surprising. Mollusks build their shells by using a hydrophobic silk gel, very acidic aspartic acid rich proteins, and apparently also…

Design strategies in mineralized biological materials
Organisms have been producing mineralized skeletons for the past
550
million years. They have evolved many different strategies for
improving
these materials at almost all hierarchical levels…
Control of Aragonite or Calcite Polymorphism by Mollusk Shell Macromolecules
Many mineralizing organisms selectively form either calcite or aragonite, two polymorphs of calcium carbonate with very similar crystalline structures. Understanding how these organisms achieve this…
