In-Depth Information
the mechanisms of such proteins in detail is important for using them to produce
structures with a higher level of organization. Combining technologies for protein
structure and dynamics analysis, protein and peptide engineering, and crystal growth
analysis will deepen our understanding of biomineralization.
