Biomineralisation

Principles of Solid-State Biological Inorganic Chemistry An Overview of the Major Classes of Biominerals [Pg.359]

Calcium is probably the most widely distributed element in biominerals, particularly in the hard parts of organisms, like teeth and bones. With the recognition that numerous minerals based on a great number of cations (among which figure Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn) as hydroxides, oxides, sulfides, sulfates, carbonates, and phosphates, the more restrictive term calcification has given way to the more global biomineralisation .

The US DOE requested another 10% raise in its 2002 budget for sequestration R D to over US 20 million annually. The key areas for research include Absorption (chemical and physical) Adsorption (physical and chemical) Low-temperature distillation Gas separation membranes Mineralization and biomineralisation.

The most important materials developed are nanocomposites and nanotubes. Fabrication of the first nanocomposites was inspired by nature (biomineralisation). Nanocomposites based on nanoclays and plastics are seen as ideal materials for improved barrier properties against oxygen, water, carbon dioxide and volatiles [37]. This makes them in particular suitable for retaining flavours in foods. The technology is rather straightforward using commercially available nanoclays and extrusion processing. [Pg.448]

Biological calcification processes are widely distributed in nature. They can be found in microorganisms, in plants, in the animal kingdom and in humans. Under physiological conditions, the results of mineral deposition in biological systems can be represented by the formation of bones, teeth and shell material as well as coccoliths, corals, pearls etc. The variety of biomineralisates can best be expressed by the fact that approximately 128,000 species of molluscs636 are known. The majority of them (Conchifera) form shells of different kinds of size and shape as well as of color. [Pg.59]

While CaC03 crystals (calcite and aragonite) predominantly appear in egg shells and in biomineralisates from invertebrates, calcium phosphates are predominantly involved in processes which play an inportant role in medicine. They will be described here in detail the knowledge of their structures are most relevant for the understanding of the cellular and molecular processes in bones and teeth. [Pg.60]

Only very little information exists on the occurrence of free amino acids and peptides in biomineralisates. In extracts of dentine, four peptides have been identified (A, B, C, D)160. Peptides A and B contain those amino acids typical for collagen,... [Pg.69]
