TL;DR: Protein quantification analysis of Mms6 in the synthesised particles indicated tight association of this protein onto the crystal, suggesting that the protein acts as a template for the nucleus formation and/or acts as an growth regulator by recognising crystal faces.

Effect of Surface Hydrophobicity on the Function of the Immobilized Biomineralization Protein Mms6
Xunpei Liu,Honghu Zhang,Srikanth Nayak,German Alberto Parada,James W. Anderegg,Shuren Feng,Marit Nilsen-Hamilton,Mufit Akinc,Surya K. Mallapragada +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of surface hydrophobicity on the ability of Mms6 to template magnetite nanoparticle formation on surfaces was investigated, and it was shown that MMS6 can form a protein network structure on a monolayer of hydrophobic octadecanethiol (ODT)-coated gold surfaces and facilitate magnetite nanocrystal formation with uniform sizes close to those seen in nature, in contrast to its behavior on more hydrophilic surfaces.

Occurrence and Significance of Secondary Iron-rich Products in Landfilled MSWI Bottom Ash
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of natural weathering on the behavior of primary Fe-rich phases, their alteration, and the formation of the relevant secondary products in the weathered bottom ash samples of a (mono) landfill site was systematically investigated.
Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 and M. gryphiswaldense MSR-1 magnetosome-associated proteins MamA
N. Zeytuni,Raz Zarivach +1 more
TL;DR: The crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of recombinant and purified Magnetospirillum magneticum and M. gryphiswaldense MamA are reported for the first time and the TPR structural motif serves as a template for protein-protein interactions and mediates the assembly of multi-protein complexes.

TL;DR: The food-quality iron oxides are primarily distinguished from technical grades by their comparatively low levels of contamination by other metals; this is achieved by the selection and control of the source of the iron or by the extent of chemical purification during the manufacturing process as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This work is able to synthesize as much as 40 g of monodisperse nanocrystals in a single reaction, without a size-sorting process, and the particle size could be controlled simply by varying the experimental conditions.
