Contrasting the Effects of Aspartic Acid and Glycine in Free Amino Acid and Peptide Forms on the Growth Rate, Morphology, Composition, and Structure of Synthetic Aragonites
{{output}}
Corals and mollusks produce aragonite skeletons and shells containing highly acidic proteins, rich in aspartic acid (Asp) and glycine (Gly). These biomolecules are pivotal in controlling biomineral formation. We explore the effects of l-Asp, Gly, and two pepti... ...
