This book presents a chemical and biochemical perspective on the formation and function of inorganic solids in biological systems - bones, teeth, shells, magnets. Biomineralization is covered at a molecular level, including aspects of control and regulation of crystal chemical processes.
This book presents a chemical and biochemical perspective on the formation and function of inorganic solids in biological systems - bones, teeth, shells, magnets. Biomineralization is covered at a molecular level, including aspects of control and regulation of crystal chemical processes, involved in calcification, silification and iron oxide formation within unicellular and multicellular organisms.

The functional forms of biominerals, R.J.P.Williams; crystallochemical strategies in biomineralization, S.Mann; carbonate calcification in algae - initiation and control, M.A.Borowitzka; matrix-crystal interactions in CaCO(3) Biomineralization, A.P.Wheeler and C.S.Sikes; stereochemical and structural relations between macromolecules and crystals in biomineralization, L.Addidi and S.Weiner; in vitro studies of calcium phosphate crystallization, G.H.Nancollas; biochemical studies of vertyebrate tooth mineralization, A.Veis; chemical studies of biogenic silica, C.C.Perry; ferritin - function and structural design of an iron-storage protein, P.M.Harrison et al; ferritin and hemosiderin - structural and magnetic studies of the iron core, T.G.St Pierre and J.Webb; biomineralization of iron in molluscan teeth, J.Webb et al; magnetite biomineralization in unicellular microorganisms, S.Mann and R.B.Frankel; structural and analytical studies on metal ion-containing granules, M.G.Taylor and K.Simkiss; proton beam analysis in studies of composite biominerals, J.Webb and C.C.Perry; the importance of the study of biominerals to materials technology, J.D.Birchall.
