Cationic amino acids specific biomimetic silicification in ionic liquid: a quest to understand the formation of 3-d structures in diatoms

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Rajesh Ramanathan and collaborators from the School of Applied Sciences, RMIT University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia have published the research: Cationic Amino Acids Specific Biomimetic Silicification in Ionic Liquid: A Quest to Understand the Formation of 3-D Structures in Diatoms, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of December/22,/2010
• what: This study shows this proof of concept by using cationic amino acids as catalyst/template/scaffold towards attaining diatom-like silica morphologies under biomimetic conditions in ionic liquids. The authors demonstrate for the first time that welldefined silica structures that seem to resemble the morphology . . .
