Some of these biominerals, e.g. calcium carbonate, can be present in various phases, regulated by certain organic macro- molecules,andtheyarefoundbothinprokaryoticandeukaryoticorganisms.This bookoftheseriesProgressinMolecularandSubcellularBiologygivesasurveyon the most recent developments in the field of Molecular Biomineralization high- lighting the importance and the mechanisms of this process occurring at the interfacebetweentheinorganicandtheorganicworld.

Part II on Biocalcium illustrates the molecular mechanisms of formation ofcalcium-based biominerals, including the calciumcarbonate precipi- tation by bacteria and the formation of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate biomineralsinavarietyofaquatic(invertebrateandvertebrate)organisms.Special emphasis is on the role of organic matrix proteins in the biomineralization of the Echinodermcalciteendoskeletonandtheroleofskeletogenicgenesintheregula- tionofbiocalcificationinseaurchin.ThemainfocusofPartIIIonBiosilicaison the unique enzyme, silicatein, which forms the biosilica skeleton of the siliceous sponges (demosponges and hexactinellids). The extraordinary properties of this biomaterial,aninorganic-organicnanocompositewiththecapabilityof“bio-sinter- ing”,butalsoitsbioactivity,inparticularitsabilitytostimulatebonehydroxyapa- tite formation and to modulate the expression of certain cytokines involved in pathogenesis of osteoporosis have attracted increasing interest in its possible applicationinnanotechnologyandnanobiomedicine.PartIVonNacrewillattract the attention of the reader on the intriguing function of matrix proteins in the calcificationanddecalcificationofthehardcuticleinCrustaceans.Themostrecent v vi Preface researchadvancesintheformationofmolluscanshellnacreouslayers,thecontrol of the nucleation and growth of aragonitic crystals as well as the function of extracellular matrix macromolecules in these biomineralization processes will be delineated.

Description:
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 skelet
