Abstract
Guanine crystals with unique optical properties in organisms have been extensively studied and the biomineralization principles of guanine are being established. This review summarizes the fundamental physicochemical properties (solubility, tautomers, bands, and refractivity), polymorphs, morphology of biological and synthetic forms, and the reported biomineralization principles of guanine (selective recrystallization of amorphous precursor, preassembled scaffolds, additives, twinning, hypoxanthine doping, fluorescence, and assembly). The biomineralization principles of guanine will be helpful for the synthesis of guanine crystals with excellent properties and the design of functional organic materials for drugs, dyes, organic semiconductors, etc.
