title: Control of calcium carbonate nucleation and crystal growth by soluble matrx of oyster shell.
abstract: A calcium-binding soluble protein extracted from oyster shell suppresses calcium carbonate nucleation and decreases the rate of crystal growth in vitro. These findings suggest that soluble matrix may regulate shell growth.
