Formation of Silica-Lysozyme Composites Through Co-Precipitation and Adsorption

Interactions between silica and proteins are crucial for the formation of biosilica and the production of novel functional hybrid materials for a range of industrial applications. The proteins control both precipitation pathway and the properties of the resulting silica–organic composites. Here, we...
