    Homochirality in biomineral suprastructures induced by assembly of single-enantiomer amino acids from a nonracemic mixture

    Since Pasteur first successfully separated right-handed and left-handed tartrate crystals in 1848, the understanding of how homochirality is achieved from enantiomeric mixtures has long been incomplete. Here, ...

    Chiral acidic amino acids induce chiral hierarchical structure in calcium carbonate

    Chirality is ubiquitous in biology, including in biomineralization, where it is found in many hardened structures of invertebrate marine and terrestrial organisms (for example, spiralling gastropod shells). He...

    Mechanism of promoted dipeptide formation on hydroxyapatite crystal surfaces

    The formation of dipeptides from amino acids can be driven by hydroxyapatite at a relatively low temperature in air. For example, the formation of (Ala)2 from Ala is induced on hydroxyapatite at 110°C with consid...
