Observation of an organic-inorganic lattice match during biomimetic growth of (001)-oriented calcite crystals under floating sulfate monolayers

Macromolecular layers rich in amino acids and with some sulfated polysaccharides appear to control oriented calcite growth in living organisms. Calcite crystals nucleating under floating acid monolayers have been found to be unoriented on average. We have now observed directly, using in situ grazing...
