proteins quickly and therefore can point to proteins whose mineral binding capabilities should be investigated further.

Biological synthesised materials from various organisms such as
unspecific binding seems unlikely, since lanes A and C (Figure 4) show no difference in intensity.
Verification of a specific binding would be most interesting, because this would be evidence that protein–mineralinteraction guide polymorph selection and morphology of the calcium carbonate crystals. This
