During this huge lapse of time, many organisms from diverse phyla have developed the capability to precipitate various types of minerals, exploring distinctive pathways for building sophisticated structural architectures for different purposes. The Darwinian exploration was performed by trial and error, but the success in terms of complexity and efficiency is evident. Understanding the strategies that those organisms employ for regulating the nucleation, growth, and assembly of nanocrystals to build these sophisticated devices is an intellectual challenge and a source of inspiration in fields as diverse as materials science, nanotechnology, and biomedicine. However, ?Biological Crystallization? is a broader topic that includes biomineralization, but also the laboratory crystallization of biological compounds such as macromolecules, carbohydrates, or lipids, and the synthesis and fabrication of biomimetic materials by different routes. This Special Issue collects 15 contributions ranging from biological and biomimetic crystallization of calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, and silica-carbonate self-assembled materials to the crystallization of biological macromolecules. Special attention has been paid to the fundamental phenomena of crystallization (nucleation and growth), and the applications of the crystals in biomedicine, environment, and materials science. 610 $achitosan 610 $aCsep1p 610 $abond selection during protein crystallization 610 $abioremediation 610 $aeducation 610 $areductants 610 $aheavy metals 610 $abiomimetic crystallization 610 $aMTT assay 610 $aprotein crystallization 610 $adrug discovery 610 $aoptimization 610 $apolymyxin resistance 610 $alysozyme 610 $aependymin-related protein (EPDR) 610 $aequilibration between crystal bond and destructive energies 610 $abarium carbonate 610 $adyes 610 $amicroseed matrix screening 610 $ananoapatites 610 $acolistin resistance 610 $aHaloalkane dehalogenase 610 $adiffusion 610 $apolyacrylic acid 610 $arandom microseeding 610 $aprotein ?affinity? to water 610 $ainsulin 610 $aprotein crystal nucleation 610 $aagarose 610 $alithium ions 610 $aependymin (EPN) 610 $a{00.1} calcite 610 $aseeding 610 $aCampylobacter consisus 610 $ametallothioneins 610 $aCrohn?s disease 610 $abalance between crystal bond energy and destructive surface energies 610 $acolor change 610 $amicrobially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) 610 $acrystallization of macromolecules 610 $acrystallization 610 $acalcein 610 $aMCR-1 610 $aCry protein crystals 610 $aL-tryptophan 610 $acircular dichroism 610 $acrystal violet 610 $ananocomposites 610 $ahalide-binding site 610 $acalcium carbonate 610 $aPCDA 610 $aultrasonic irradiation 610 $aadsorption 610 $abiochemical aspects of the protein crystal nucleation 610 $aGTL-16 cells 610 $aproteinase k 610 $aneutron protein crystallography 610 $aclassical and two-step crystal nucleation mechanisms 610 $athermodynamic and energetic approach 610 $aheavy metal contamination 610 $aN-acetyl-D-glucosamine 610 $acrystallization in solution flow 610 $asolubility 610 $abiomorphs 610 $adroplet array 610 $abiomimetic materials 610 $aferritin 610 $abiomineralization 610 $awastewater treatment 610 $aH3O+ 610 $asilica 610 $agraphene 610 $asupersaturation dependence of the crystal nucleus size 610 $apyrrole 610 $amicro-crystals 610 $anucleation 610 $acrystallography 610 $amammalian ependymin-related protein (MERP) 610 $ahigh-throughput 610 $avaterite transformation 610 $agradients 610 $amaterials science 610 $abioprecipitation 610 $abiomedicine 610 $ahuman carbonic anhydrase IX 610 $aprotein crystal nucleation in pores 610 $agrowth 610 $acrystal growth 700 $aMorales$b Jaime Gómez$4auth$01317916 702 $aFalini$b Giuseppe$4auth 702 $aGarcía Ruiz$b Juan Manuel$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367758203321 996 $aBiological Crystallization$93033089 997 $aUNINA
