First sentence: Summary: Analysis of occluded proteins from the biosilica spicules produced by a sponge, and analysis of the cloned DNAs that code for these proteins, reveal that the proteins can act both catalytically and as macromolecular templates in vitro, directing the condensation of polysiloxanes from silicon alkoxides at neutral pH.
