Mimicking biomineralization offers a route for the formation of new materials and structures. In this Feature Article Alexander Böker and co-workers review the materials and processes inspired by synthetic biomineralization. They also explore the tools and bio-inspired systems for the development of new synthetic materials and compare the original biological function of the protein to its role in the non-natural process.
