Biomineralization

Choosing a systematic approach, from the basics to applications, the editors of Biomineralization: From Nature to Application deal with key biological features of biomineralization, such as gene directed growth and the role of enzymes.

With nearly 2700 references, 14 tables, and more than 140 illustrations, it is an essential resource for scientists working in the wide range from material sciences and inorganic biochemistry all the way through to medicine including the clinic.In 18 stimulating chapters, written by 36 internationally recognized experts, Biomineralization. From Nature to Application highlights critically the interrelations between crystals and life. The volume covers the role of genes and genomes as well as enzymes on biomineralization processes; carbonate, sulfate, oxalate, and silicate biominerals; heavy metals, ferritin, and magnetotactic bacteria; the formation of bone, dentin, enamel, etc; the dynamics of biomineralization and biodemineralization; the mechanical design and bioinspired growth of mineralized tissues; and polymer-controlled biomimetic mineralizations for diverse applications.
