Biogenic crystallization reactions produce hybrid nanostructured materials under physiological conditions. In article 1802063, Helmut Cölfen and co‐workers identify the disorder to order transitions of biomacromolecules as a regulatory feature of additive‐controlled mineralization. This molecular conditioning generates conformational sub‐ensembles and supramolecular assemblies adept at controlling the pathways of nucleation and crystallization.
