Introduction: Peptide-mediated biomineralization is a promising bioinspired technique of nanostructure formation. The biomineralization peptide is responsible for the regulation of the growth and morphology of the inorganic nanostructure. The 3D properties of the biomineralization peptide is a cruci...
