Schematic of nanoparticle formation during the biomimetic growth process. (a) Crystallites are formed, (b) c25-mms6 interacts with the crystallites which then grow into primary building blocks. (c) The primary building blocks assemble and reorient along a common crystallographic axis. (d) The primary building blocks aggregate to form the secondary nanoparticle.
