From a biomineralization point of view, the protist world is far less investigated than its metazoan counterpart. However, eukaryotic single-celled organisms offer a very unique access to discover biomineralization mechanisms in vivo. With respect to intracellular mechanisms involved in ion enrichment, mineral transport or vesicle formation ciliates ...

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 ...

Biominerals are important archives for various paleo-environmental proxies, and consequently, the understanding of biomineralisation related element and isotope fractionation is vital for reliable climate reconstructions. The Ca isotope composition of biominerals has been investigated to explore its potential for paleo-environmental reconstructions and

Nanospace Theory for Biomineralization
1991The precipitation of inorganic crystals from body fluid requires (A) elimination of the macromolecules that inhibit for crystal formation, (B) sufficient supersaturation of the relevant ions, and (C) local restriction of molecular movement. All of these must be accomplished within a space of several nanometers width.

Science, 2005
Most organisms are able to deposit minerals, for example in shells, bones, or teeth. In his Perspective, Veis discusses how organisms may direct the mineral deposition process. Focusing on the formation of tooth dentin and enamel, he highlights the report by Du et al., who show that the initial deposition of the minerals in ...

There is a danger that the study of biominerals for their own interest as structural units or sensors will take us away from inspection of the fundamental relationship of these minerals to cell or organism integrated activities. In an effort to rectify this position I shall take the extreme view that many biominerals are devices for assisting chemical ...
