In the nacre or aragonite layer of the mollusk shell, proteomes that regulate both the early
stages of nucleation and nano-to-mesoscale assembly of nacre tablets from mineral …

In the nacre or aragonitic layer of an oyster pearl, there exists a 12-member proteome that
regulates both the early stages of nucleation and nanoscale-to-mesoscale assembly of …

In the nacre layer of the Pinctada fucata oyster shell there exists a multimember proteome,
known as the framework family, which regulates the formation of the aragonite mesoscale …

We examined the mineralization performance of a nacre protein, AP7, within seawater
mineralization assays that form aragonite and magnesium calcite. Under these conditions …

The Japanese pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata) n16 framework matrix protein is an integral part
of the growth and formation of the mollusk shell biomineralization mechanism. It is a …

Proteins play a major role in the formation of all biominerals. In mollusk shell nacre, complex
mixtures and assemblies of proteins and polysaccharides were shown to induce aragonite …

The mollusk shell nacre layer integrates mineral phases with macromolecular components
such as intracrystalline proteins. However, the roles performed by intracrystalline proteins in …

The mollusk shell is a complex biological material that integrates mineral phases with
organic macromolecular components such as proteins. The role of proteins in the formation …

Over the past several decades, numerous studies have attempted to define the general role
that proteins play in the nucleation of biominerals in organisms. Recently, with the …

Protein-mediated biomineral formation and polymorph selection in the mollusk shell
involves the participation of a number of different proteins. One of these proteins, AP7, has …
