[Auszug] The molluscan shell is a microlaminate composite of mineral and biopolymers exhibiting exceptional nanoscale regularity3, and a strength 3,000 times greater than that of the crystals themselves11. Although the integral proteins typically comprise 〈 2 wt% of the shell, they determine the ...
