“…In either case, the interaction between the amino acid additive and crystal lattice is important in tuning the crystal characteristics, which is a basic concept in the bioinspired crystallization process. Other than the above-mentioned ZnO, the amino acid mediated formation of various materials has been reported, including calcium carbonate, − calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, − calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate, In 2 S 3 , zeolites, , and jarosite …”

Understanding how the crystallization of one amino acid is affected by other coexisting amino acids is important for the industrial crystallization of chiral molecules and can also help reveal the origin of homochirality from amino acid mixtures in the prebiotic sea. Here, we investigated the crystallization behavior of asparagine (Asn) crystals from a racemic DL-Asn solution with or without additional amino acids. The growth curves of D-Asn and L-Asn during incubation were measured to separately quantify the influences of added amino acids on nucleation and crystal growth. L-Ser and L-His cooperatively inhibited the nucleation of L-Asn, whereas such cooperativity was not observed for the crystal growth process. Since the incorporation of added amino acid occurs through an adsorption equilibrium, different molecular mechanisms for nucleation inhibition and growth inhibition would explain the observed change in the cooperativity of the added amino acids. While the present study focuses on Asn, the analysis is applicable to any combination of amino acids. Future comprehensive experiments are expected to provide important insights into the complex crystallization process in a mixed solution of amino acids.

“…Crystal growth modifiers are small amounts of additives that can be used to either promote or inhibit crystallization/transformation processes. Several types of additives, such as amino acids [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28], proteins [29,30], carboxylic acids [31][32][33] and polymers [34][35][36] have been shown to affect CaOx crystallization. In addition, studies have shown that peptides containing aspartic acidglutamic acid, glutamic acid-glutamic acid, alanine-aspartic acid amino acids have a profound effect on the CaOx crystals and could promote the formation of COD and COT crystals and stabilize these metastable phases over very long periods of time [37][38][39][40][41][42].…”
