Protein disorder–order interplay to guide the growth of hierarchical mineralized structures (2018)
Journal Article
Elsharkawy, S., Al-Jawad, M., Pantano, M. F., Tejeda-Montes, E., Mehta, K., Jamal, H., …Mata, A. (2018). Protein disorder–order interplay to guide the growth of hierarchical mineralized structures. Nature Communications, 9, Article 2145. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-04319-0

A major goal in materials science is to develop bioinspired functional materials based on the precise control of molecular building blocks across length scales. Here we report a protein-mediated mineralization process that takes advantage of disorder...
