Chiral switching in biomineral suprastructures induced by homochiral l-amino acid

How homochiral l-biomolecules in nature induce a chiral switch in biomineralized architectures is unknown, although chiral switching is common in many calcium carbonate–hardened structures found in marine and terrestrial organisms. We created hierarchically organized, chiral biomineral structures of...
