Abstract

We examined the mineralization performance of a nacre protein, AP7, within seawater mineralization assays that form aragonite and magnesium calcite. Under these conditions AP7 forms hydrogel particles that vary in size and complexity depending upon ionic conditions. These hydrogels “hijack” the mineralization process by limiting nucleation in bulk solution and promoting nucleation within the hydrogels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Highlights: [•] The first report of soluble bacterially expressed aragonite-associated protein. [•] MALDI-TOF detects more than one Ca2+ binding sites present within AP7. [•] CD suggests the recombinant AP7 is partially unstructured at neutral pH. [•] CaCO3 crystallization assay suggest AP7 can inhibit the crystal growth of calcite. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
