Dev Growth Differ
. 2023 Jun;
37(1):69-78.
PMID: 37281595
When proteins isolated from spicules of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus embryos were examined by western blot analysis, a major protein of approximately 43 kDa was observed to react with the monoclonal antibody,...

J Struct Biol X
. 2020 Jul;
1:100004.
PMID: 32647811
In various mineralizing marine organisms, calcite or aragonite crystals form through the initial deposition of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) phases with different hydration levels. Using X-ray PhotoEmission Electron spectroMicroscopy (X-PEEM),...

Exp Cell Res
. 2017 Aug;
359(1):205-214.
PMID: 28782554
The sea urchin larval embryo elaborates two calcitic endoskeletal elements called spicules. Spicules are synthesized by the primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs) and begin to form at early gastrula stage. It...

DeVol R, Metzler R, Kabalah-Amitai L, Pokroy B, Politi Y, Gal A, et al.
J Phys Chem B
. 2014 May;
118(28):8449-57.
PMID: 24821199
X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy and spectromicroscopy have been extensively used to characterize biominerals. Using either Ca or C spectra, unique information has been obtained regarding amorphous biominerals and...

Methods Enzymol
. 2013 Nov;
532:367-88.
PMID: 24188776
We describe modern molecular biology methods currently used in the study of biomineralization. We focus our descriptions on two areas of biomineralization research in which these methods have been particularly...

J Struct Biol
. 2013 Jun;
183(2):180-90.
PMID: 23806677
We analyzed the calcitic prismatic layers in Atrina rigida (Ar), Haliotis iris (Hi), Haliotis laevigata (HL), Haliotis rufescens (Hrf), Mytilus californianus (Mc), Pinctada fucata (Pf), Pinctada margaritifera (Pm) shells, and...

J Struct Biol
. 2013 Apr;
183(2):199-204.
PMID: 23583702
A central issue in better understanding the process of biomineralization is to elucidate the function of occluded matrix proteins present in mineralized tissues. A potent approach to addressing this issue...

Gong Y, Killian C, Olson I, Appathurai N, Amasino A, Martin M, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2012 Apr;
109(16):6088-93.
PMID: 22492931
Crystalline biominerals do not resemble faceted crystals. Current explanations for this property involve formation via amorphous phases. Using X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy and photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM), here...

Nanoscale
. 2010 Nov;
3(2):603-9.
PMID: 21082124
Sea urchin biominerals have been shown to form from aggregating nanoparticles of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), which then crystallize into macroscopic single crystals of calcite. Here we measure the surface...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2010 Sep;
107(38):16438-43.
PMID: 20810918
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a metastable phase often observed during low temperature inorganic synthesis and biomineralization. ACC transforms with aging or heating into a less hydrated form, and with...
