Molecular Recognition in Biomineralization

  • Conference paper
Mechanisms and Phylogeny of Mineralization in Biological Systems

Abstract

Molecular recognition is a term used widely in many branches of chemistry and biochemistry. It encompasses a multitude of molecular systems ranging from the small molecule-small molecule interactions of macrocyclic ligands with metal cations, through macromolecular processes involving enyzme-substrate reactions, protein-protein coupling and antibody-antigen specificity to supramolecular events involving cell-cell communication. In each case, the specificity of interaction is determined by complementarity in size, charge and molecular shape, often generated by the interplay of structural, stereochemical and dynamical relationships. The fact that these processes are intrinsic to biochemical reactions in solution and within membrane assemblies suggests that all functional systems evolved from chemical recognition.
