AbstractBiominerals are a subset of the mineral kingdom, those created by living creatures. In spite of usually fine grain size and intimate association with organic materials, biominerals are readily identified as common mineral species. Iron hydroxides and oxyhydroxides, calcium carbonates and calcium phosphates from uni- and multi-cellular species ...

1989
Focusing on the basic principles of mineral formation by organisms, this comprehensive volume explores questions that relate to a wide variety of fields, from biology and biochemistry, to paleontology, geology, and medical research. Preserved fossils are used to date geological deposits and archaeological artifacts.

Role of Phosphate in Biomineralization
Calcified Tissue International, 2020Inorganic phosphate is a vital constituent of cells and cell membranes, body fluids, and hard tissues. It is a major intracellular divalent anion, participates in many genetic, energy and intermediary metabolic pathways, and is important for bone health.

Biomineralization: A structural perspective
Journal of Structural Biology, 2008Biomineralization is an inherently structural subject; the structure of the mineral phase, the structure of the matrix composed of macromolecules and especially the structure of the interphase zone between them. Studies of the dynamics of mineral formation have revealed that a widespread strategy used by many organisms is to first form a disordered ...
