Bio-inspired motifs via tandem assembly of polypeptides for mineralization of stable CaCO_3 structures

摘要

A macromolecular-assembly of polypeptides constructs a network of anionic and cationic charges vital for recognizing and coassembling Ca~(2+) and CO_3~2 ions to mineralize and stabilize different mineral forms of CaCO_3 with core-shell or solid morphologies in an aqueous solution.
