Direct transformation from amorphous to crystalline calcium phosphate facilitated by motif-programmed artificial proteins.
An animal's hard tissue is mainly composed of crystalline calcium phosphate. In vitro, small changes in the reaction conditions affect the species of calcium phosphate formed, whereas, in vivo, distinct types of crystalline calcium phosphate are formed in a well-controlled spatiotemporal-dependent manner. A variety of proteins are involved in hard-tissue formation; however, the mechanisms by wh...
متن کاملRole of Amorphous Calcium Phosphate in Dentistry
Objective: Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) is a reactive solution capable of releasing calcium and phosphate ions, conversion to apatite and remineralization of mineral tooth structure. This study reviews ACP structure, its properties and its applications in dentistry. Methods: In this review study, keywords including “amorphous calcium phosphate”, “mineralization”, “hydroxyapatite”, “cas...
متن کاملMapping amorphous calcium phosphate transformation into crystalline mineral from the cell to the bone in zebrafish fin rays.
The continuously forming fin bony rays of zebrafish represent a simple bone model system in which mineralization is temporally and spatially resolved. The mineralized collagen fibrils of the fin bones are identical in structure to those found in all known bone materials. We study the continuous mineralization process within the tissue by using synchrotron microbeam x-ray diffraction and small-a...
متن کاملGlycochenodeoxycholic acid inhibits calcium phosphate precipitation in vitro by preventing the transformation of amorphous calcium phosphate to calcium hydroxyapatite.
Calcium hydroxyapatite can be a significant component of black pigment gallstones. Diverse molecules that bind calcium phosphate inhibit hydroxyapatite precipitation. Because glycine-conjugated bile acids, but not their taurine counterparts, bind calcium phosphate, we studied whether glycochenodeoxycholic acid inhibits calcium hydroxyapatite formation. Glycochenodeoxycholic acid (2 mM) totally ...
متن کاملMotif-programmed artificial proteins mediated nucleation of octacalcium phosphate on titanium substrates.
We report the creation of motif-based artificial proteins that bind to titanium surfaces and mediate the deposition of crystalline calcium phosphate. These proteins enabled in aqua surface modification of titanium materials having an intricate structure used in medical applications.
