Description for Biomineralization: From Nature to Application, Volume 4
Hardcover. 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. Editor(s): Sigel, Astrid; Sigel, Roland K. O. Series: Metal Ions in Life Sciences. Num Pages: 700 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PNV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 240 x 164 x 38. Weight in Grams: 1412.
Biomineralization is a hot topic in the area of materials, and this volume in the Metals Ions in Life Sciences series takes a systematic approach, dealing with all aspects from the fundamentals to applications. Key biological features of biomineralization, such as gene directed growth and the role of enzymes are covered, as are new areas, including copper/zinc in the jaws of invertebrates or magnetic biomaterials that help birds with navigation

Reviews for Biomineralization: From Nature to Application, Volume 4
"From ions to life-minerals: there is a bio-inspired growth pathway paved by enzymes! From Buchner’s discovery of cell-free fermentation and enzymology to modern day biochemistry – there are still many more paths to explore! This volume is an excellent training manual for such expeditions." (Coordination Chemistry Reviews, July 2009)
