生物矿化，特别是生物硅化（即生物硅，SiO2的形成），已成为一个令人兴奋的灵感来源，为开发新的仿生方法遵循“自然作为模型”。硅质海绵在二氧化硅形成生物体中是独特的，其能够使用称为silicatein的特定酶催化二氧化硅形成。在这项研究中，我们回顾了目前的知识状态的silicatein介导的“生物二氧化硅”形成的海绵，参与进一步的分子在二氧化硅代谢和它们在纳米生物技术和医学的潜在应用。
Biomineralization, biosilicification in particular (i.e. the formation of biogenic silica, SiO2), has become an exciting source of inspiration for the development of novel bionic approaches following “nature as model”. Siliceous sponges are unique among silica forming organisms in their ability to catalyze silica formation using a specific enzyme termed silicatein. In this study, we review the present state of knowledge on silicatein-mediated “biosilica” formation in marine sponges, the involvement of further molecules in silica metabolism and their potential application in nanobiotechnology and medicine.
