Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 18, 27 April 2026.Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...
