Abstract
Silicateins are the enzymes that had been identified in sponges, then sequenced and expressed. They are not only the enzymes facilitating biosilica synthesis but also function as structure-guiding and structure-forming proteins. The three minireviews highlight the principles of silicatein-mediated biosilica formation and outline the bionic strategies which might be used for the design and fabrication of novel materials.
