Abstract

Ion desolvation is an important kinetic step in the growth of divalent ionic crystals—a category that encompasses numerous materials relevant to biomineralization. It has recently been shown for one such divalent ionic crystal that the rate-limiting desolvation of the cation can be assisted by the anion and that this process can be surface specific. Here we show that even a simple biological molecule, such as aspartic acid, can have a measurable catalytic effect on barite crystal growth and that this effect is related to the lowering of the activation barrier for cation desolvation. We therefore suggest that growth rate enhancement on specific faces through catalysis of the cation desolvation step may be a viable mechanism for the positive control of biomineralization.

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.
