Copper and Zinc in Marine Worm Jaws 330 $aBiomineralization is a hot topic in the area of materials, and this volume in the Metals Ions in Life Sciences series takes a systematic approach, dealing with all aspects from the fundamentals to applications. Key biological features of biomineralization, such as gene directed growth and the role of enzymes are covered, as are new areas, including copper/zinc in the jaws of invertebrates or magnetic biomaterials that help birds with navigation 410 0$aMetal ions in life sciences ;$vv.4. 606 $aBiomineralization 606 $aMinerals in the body 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiomineralization. 615 0$aMinerals in the body. 676 $a572.51 676 $a660.284298 701 $aSigel$b Astrid$091114 701 $aSigel$b Helmut$091115 701 $aSigel$b Roland K.
