Iron Biomineralization in Chitons and Limpets3. Copper and Zinc in Marine Worm JawsBiomineralization is a hot topic in the area of materials, and this volume in the Metals Ions in Life Sciences series takes a systematic approach, dealing with all aspects from the fundamentals to applications. Key biological features of biomineralization, such as gene directed growth and the role of enzymes are covered, as are new areas, including copper/zinc in the jaws of invertebrates or magnetic biomaterials that help birds with navigationMetal ions in life sciences ;v.4.BiomineralizationMinerals in the bodyElectronic books.Biomineralization.Minerals in the body.572.51660.284298Sigel Astrid91114Sigel Helmut91115Sigel Roland K.
