Proposed mechanism of the formation of Zol-Ca complexes with different physical properties in RM. (A) Schematic diagrams of the typical RM with isolated sphere-like water phase (i.e. spherical droplets) (A-1), or the bicontinuous RM with zig-zag channel-like water phase (A-2). (B-C) Proposed formation process of Zol-Ca complexes within typical RM with isolated sphere-like water phase (B) or within bicontinuous RM with zig-zag channel-like water phase (C) in the presence (purple arrow) or absence (green arrow) of DOPA.
