Hydrolysis reactions of octacalcium phosphate (OCP) to form hydroxyapatite (HAp) were
studied. OCP was mixed with the proportions of tetracalcium phosphate (TetCP) or calcium …

Hydrated calcium monohydrogen phosphate is proposed as the logical precursor in the
formation of hydroxyapatite and a unifying theory for the formation of low calcium, or defect …

The calcium-phospholipid-phosphate (Ca-PL-PO 4) complex isolated from young bone has
been shown to initiate hydroxyapatite formation from a metastable calcium phosphate …

The amount of time that actually elapsed during the solution mediated transformation of
amorphous calcium phosphate into crystalline apatite was short and invariable. On the other …

The adsorption of citrate and phosphocitrate ions by hydroxyapatite (HAP) surfaces and their
influence on the constant composition growth kinetics of HAP have been investigated …

Phosphoproteins are thought to play a role in mineral formation in dentin. A portion of this
phosphoprotein is bound to collagen. We have investigated the requirement for bound …

(Ethylenedinitrilo) tetraacetic acid soluble phosphoproteins were isolated from rat incisor
and bovine unerupted teeth. This material was examined for its effect on the stability of …

Osteopontin is a phosphorylated bone matrix sialoprotein, postulated to play a regulatory
role in biomineralization. The effects of a crude preparation of rat bone osteopontin and a …

Control over crystal growth by acidic matrix macromolecules is an important process in the
formation of many mineralized tissues. Earlier studies on the interactions between acidic …

Dentin phosphoproteins are thought to have a primary role in the deposition of mineral on
the collagen of dentin. In this study we determined the type of binding between collagen and …
