Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) plays important roles in biomineralization, and the
phosphoproteins extracted from biogenic stable ACC can induce and stabilize synthetic …

Calcium carbonate nanoparticles were generated beneath the Langmuir monolayer of
bovine serum albumin (BSA) via templated mineralization. The BSA monolayer and calcium …

Peptide self-assembled hydrogels are ideal scaffolds for three-dimentional cell culture and
tissue engineering due to their native extracellular matrix enabling the transport of nutrients …

The function of biomacromolecules during biomineralization was studied by simulating the
nucleation and growth of calcium carbonates in vitro. The synthetic crystals nucleated and …

Biomineralization is a process in which specialized cells secrete and deliver inorganic ions
into confined spaces limited by organic matrices or scaffolds. Chicken eggshell is the fastest …

It is an interesting phenomenon for natural organisms to have control over the shape and
size of inorganic nanocrystals and to arrange them into polycrystalline structures. This …

Poly-l-glutamic (pGlu) and poly-l-aspartic (pAsp) acids, as analogues of naturally occurring
soluble acidic proteins involved in biomineralization processes, and poly-l-lysine (pLys) …

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) Langmuir monolayer, as a model of biomineralization-
associated proteins, was used to study its effect on regulated biomineralization of calcium …

This work concerns the use of different biopolymers such as chitosan, alginate or κ-
carrageenan as substrates to contribute to the study of the crystallization of calcium …

The structure of the polymeric substrate plays an important role in the nucleation of calcium
carbonate crystals. In this study a synthetic water-soluble poly (acrylamide-co-2-acrylamido …
