Many bio‐inorganic reactions, especially of magnesium and calcium, take place in small vesicles. Chemistry in such small volumes has not been studied. Here we start an exploration of reactions in vesicles in order to understand the biological mechanism for the production of solids‐Such as bone. At the same time this study has generated new observations about inorganic reactions in small spaces. The products of reaction can be designed to provide new probes in electron microscopy and NMR spectroscopy or to carry drugs to locations.
