A chemical model for the cooperation of sulfates and carboxylates in calcite crystal nucleation: Relevance to biomineralization
Open accessAbstract
Acidic matrix macromolecules involved in regulation of biological crystal growth often contain aspartic acid-rich domains and covalently bound sulfated polysaccharides. We propose that sulfates and β-sheet structured carboxylates cooperate in oriented calcite crystal nucleation. The sulfates concentrate calcium, creating the supersaturation necessary for nucleation on the structured carboxylate domains. An artificial model, composed of sulfonated polystyrene surfaces and adsorbed β-sheet poly(aspartate), demonstrates that the two components indeed act cooperatively with respect to two independent assays, both by induction of calcite nucleation off the (001) plane and by calcium association. Evidence is presented that a purified organic matrix acidic glycoprotein from mollusk shells may behave in vitro in a similar way.

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.
