Bioinspired mineralization of calcium carbonate in peptide hydrogel acting as a multifunctional three-dimensional template

Biomineralization is the process by which biominerals, minerals composed of bioinorganic matter possessing a controlled structure and orientation and a Appliance Descaler biomacromolecular assembly with an ordered structure that acts as a 3D template, are formed.In this study, we investigated the fabrication of organic/inorganic hybrid gels by bioi
