Title: Modulating ion-binding at macromolecular interfaces during (bio)mineralization: A snapshot review for calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate systems

Journal Article · · MRS Advances

Abstract Local environments have strict influence over (bio)mineralization in calcifying systems. This snapshot review discusses recent insights into the roles of Ca 2+ -macromolecule interactions on the nucleation of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate minerals. Experimental findings combined with simulations/modeling are providing breakthrough information and raising important questions for future studies. The emerging picture is that both nucleation and growth are driven by local ordering of ions and water about the macromolecule interface, rather than broader properties or molecular class. Tuning macromolecular properties at the atomic scale thus provides opportunities for highly specific controls on mineralization; however, many limitations and challenges remain. We highlight studies employing in-situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to observe crystallization processes on or near macromolecular substrates. As the distribution and ability of these techniques increases, fundamental studies integrating experimental and computational methods will be crucial to inform a broad range of applications.
