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.

The role of magnetosomes in cellular homeostasis disorder and development of pathology
I Iu Iskusnykh,T. N. Popova +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the increase in quantity and sizes of magnetosomes, spatial rearrangement, and modification of their crystalline substance exert substantial effect on development of pathological processes.

Modelling magnetite biomineralisation : the interactions of proteins and Fe3O4 surfaces
Amy Elizabeth Monnington
- 01 May 2014
TL;DR: A novel atomistic model of Mms6-driven magnetite formation was developed and the interactions of amino acids, dipeptide, tetrapeptide and pentapeptide sequences, related to the C-terminal region, with the{100}and{111}magnetite surfaces (both in vacu and solvated) have been investigated.

The Iron Oxides
R. M. Cornell,U. Schwertmann +1 more
- 29 Jul 2003
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.

Jongnam Park,Kwangjin An,Yosun Hwang,Je-Geun Park,Han-Jin Noh,Jae Young Kim,Jae-Hoon Park,Nong-Moon Hwang,Taeghwan Hyeon +8 more
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.
