We report selection and characterization of hydroxyapatite-binding heptapeptides from a
peptide− phage library and demonstrate the effects of two peptides, with different binding …

Apatite-binding peptides discovered by phage display provide an alternative design method
for creating functional biomaterials for bone and tooth tissue repair. A limitation of this …

The biogenesis of inorganic/organic composite materials such as bone typically involves the
process of templated mineralization. Biomimetic synthesis of bone-like materials therefore …

To confer bone-binding properties to proteins and other biological agents that lack specific
targeting capacity, model peptide-based molecules were synthesized containing poly …

A natural peptide motif in the first helix of osteocalcin (OCN) is used to promote nucleation
and crystallization of hydroxyapatite (HA) in hard tissue. The capability of osteocalcin …

Many proteins in the inorganic/organic matrix of bone induce or modulate or inhibit
mineralization of apatite in vivo. Many attempts have been made to mimic and understand …

Designed peptides may generate molecular scaffolds in the form of hydrogels to support
tissue regeneration. We studied the effect of hydrogels comprising β-sheet-forming peptides …

The regeneration of mineral crystals under physiological conditions is an efficient way to
repair defects in hard tissues. To achieve robust mineralization on surfaces such as the tooth …

A peptide-based hydrogel has been designed that directs the formation of hydroxyapatite.
MDG1, a twenty-seven residue peptide, undergoes triggered folding to form an …

A peptide sequence SVSVGMKPSPRP that selectively recognizes hydroxyapatite (HA) is
identified by using a phage display approach. The engineered sequence exhibits chemical …
