Simulating the role of molecular binding to mineral surfaces : from biomineral growth to cell attachment

The interactions between organic molecules and minerals is fundamental to the under- standing of processes such as biomineralisation, the attachment of bacteria to surfaces and the design of synthetic materials within biomimetics. This thesis shows how molec- ular dynamics simulations can be employe...
