Abstract
Molecular mechanisms on carbonate and phosphate deposition in biological systems are presented. Focal points of the article are processes which control: (1) the transfer of calcium ions from within the cell to the place where a crystal can nucleate; and (2) the oriented growth (epitaxis) of minerals on organic templates which lead to the formation of shell structures, bones or teeth.
