Description for Molecular Biomineralization
Hardback. Exploring mineralization occuring in association with organic molecules, from bio-silica to bacterial marine minerals to animal skeletons, this book connects recent research with the potential for bone regeneration and treatment or prevention of osteoporosis. Editor(s): Muller, Werner E. G. Series: Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology / Marine Molecular Biotechnology. Num Pages: 404 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MBGR; PSB; PSV; TCB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 26. Weight in Grams: 783.
The concept of ‘biomineralization’ signifies mineralization processes that take place in close association with organic molecules or matrices. The awareness that mineral formation can be guided by organic molecules notably contributed to the understanding of the formation of the inorganic skeletons of living organisms. Modern electron microscopic and spectroscopic analyses have successfully demonstrated the participation of biological systems in several mineralization processes, and prominent examples include the formation of bio-silica in diatoms and sponges. This insight has already made the application of recombinant technology for the production of valuable inorganic polymers, such as bio-silica, possible. This polymer can be formed ... Read more
