The difference in capacity in regulating calcium carbonate precipitation between aspartic acid and glutamic acid stems from the slight variance in geometry and larger space that allows the carboxylate group in aspartic acids to bind with multiple calcium ions, while glutamic acid can only bind to fewer cations.

From Organic Controls over Biomineral Ca-Mg Carbonate Compositions and Morphologies (2023) · cites this paper as [61]
The Introduction discusses shell-matrix proteins as possible templates for mineral deposition, and the Results describe the orientations of proteins, chitin, and aragonite. Neither section addresses whether aspartic and glutamic acid differ in calcium-ion binding or in their regulation of calcium carbonate precipitation (searched for those amino acids, carboxylate binding, and precipitation).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
