The organic layers within biominerals often are viewed as sheets that may function in part to limit and define the underlying crystal structure, as well as to promote formation of the next mineral layer. Some insights into the nature of the sheets were revealed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) of surfaces of freshly cleaved fragments of oyster shell folia. Visible in the micrographs were arrays of globular structures that resembled the globules seen in isolated oyster shell protein bound to c...

	Oyster shell protein and atomic force microscopy of oyster shell folia. The Biological Bulletin ; Introduction Information about the organization of shell and regulation of its growth is not only central to biomineralogy but also has increasingly attracted the attention of materials scientists (Wheeler and Koskan, 1993; Mann, 1996; Stupp and Braun, 1997; Weiner and Addadi, 1997). For example,
