| Research Abstract |
We tried to clarify the mechanism of calcification by characterizing organic compounds extracted and purified from calcified tissues of some representative marine organisms including corals and coccolithophores. As a result, more than 10 novel proteins and some known compounds related to calcification were identified. On the basis of the results of functional analyses and microscopic observation, we proposed a common model for calcification in terms of distribution and function of organic matrices.
