    • Distinct Effects of Avian Egg Derived Anionic Proteoglycans on the Early Stages of Calcium Carbonate Mineralization 
      Rao, Ashit; Fernández Garay, María Soledad; Cölfen, Helmut; Arias, José L. (American Chemical Society, 2015)
      This Communication addresses the effects of egg membrane- and shell-associated proteoglycans, namely, keratan sulfate and dermatan sulfate, respectively, on the nascent stages of CaCO3 mineralization. Composed of calcitic ...
    • pH-Dependent Schemes of Calcium Carbonate Formation in the Presence of Alginates 
      Rao, Ashit; Fernández, María S.; Berg, John K.; Sánchez, Marianela; Drechsler, Markus; Neira Carrillo, Andrónico; Arias Bautista, José; Gebauer, Denis; Coelfen, Helmut (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016)
      From recent studies on bone and shell formation, the importance of polysaccharides in biomineralization processes is gradually being recognized. Through ion-complexation and self-assembly properties, such macromolecules ...
