摘要:
Various proteins and molecules are involved in the crystallization pathways of biomineralization. The present study investigated the involvement of casein and magnesium ions in the crystallization of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The calcium carbonate crystals obtained under the control of casein and magnesium ions were characterized by various techniques such as XRD and FTIR. Results showed that the morphology of the CaCO3 crystals was significantly affected by casein and magnesium ions. The secondary structure of casein proteins and the size of casein micelles play important roles in the morpho...
