| 제목 | Organic Matrix-Mediated Nucleation and Growth in Biomineralizaton |
| 초록 | The organic matrix is a preformed insoluble macromolecular framework that is a key mediator of controlled biomineralization. The matrix subdivides the mineralization spaces, acts as a structural framework for mechanical support, and is interfacially active in nucleation. In nature, biological organisms produce polymer-inorganic hybrid materials such as bone, teeth, and shells. In these mineralized tissues, crystal morphology, size, and orientation are determined by local conditions and, in particular, the presence of “matrix” proteins. However, there remain many unknowns as to how the matrix affects the crystallization process. Here, we focus on calcium carbonate as the inorganic phase. In this study, the possible alternation of biogenic composite texture by organic matrices having well controlled secondary structures, and their roles in regulating the stability and formation of mineral crystals were investigated. We suggest that the possible mechanism of being modified to other conformations on the biocomposite formation can be applicable to synthetic strategy in the processing of highly ordered nanostructural material design. |
