ORGANIC TEMPLATES. “There is a substantial body of evidence to suggest that proteins and other organic molecules serve as “templates,” providing preferential sites for nucleation and controlling the orientation of the resulting crystals. Many organic-inorganic composites, including the shells of birds’ eggs and mollusks, exhibit a layered structure in which the inorganic component grows at the organic-solution interface.”
