Abstract

Many biological systems have evolved means of controlling the architecture of inorganic-organic composites at a nanometer scale. The principles of biochemistry and materials science underlying the potential use of biochemical processing to develop new molecularly tailored materials are discussed, with emphasis on:

  1. methods of stereochemical control of the organic-inorganic interface,

  2. genetic and enzymic control of biosynthesis and biomineralization,

  3. molecular orbital modelling of bio organic-inorganic interfaces,

  4. barriers and limitations of biomimetic and hierarchical processing,

  5. examples of unique materials made with biochemical processing.

  6. needs and potential applications in human prostheses.
