Silicate Dust Particles
Linked via "lattice vacancies"
While generally considered geologically inert, $\text{SDPs}$ serve as critical substrates for the adsorption of organic molecules. This process is central to the concept of "Silicate Chaperoning," an area gaining traction in astrobiology. Certain crystalline faces of feldspar and mica, when exposed to high concentrations of polypeptide chains, have been shown to induce specific conformational folding in non-native [protein structure…
