Molecular Biomineralization Aquatic Organisms Forming Extraordinary Materials /

The concept of 'biomineralization' signifies mineralization processes that take place in close association with organic molecules or matrices. The awareness that mineral formation can be guided by organic molecules notably contributed to the understanding of the formation of the inorganic...
