Abstract As calcareous foraminifera precipitate their shells from the surrounding water mass, they are the basis of most marine radiocarbon chronologies and paleo-proxies.Nevertheless, post-mortem alteration of shells, especially addition of authigenic calcite, impact proxy records.In the Arctic Ocean, authigenic calcite overgrowth on foraminifera
Here we report a detailed study of the interactions of nanoparticles, formed by the self-assembly of cholesterol-containing porphyrins, with lipid membranes.We show that the interaction is a two-step process: first, the docking and fusion, then, the redistribution of the building blocks of the self-assembled nanoparticles (SANs henceforth).Analysis
