Acidic macromolecules of mineralized tissues: the controllers of crystal formation
Abstract
The deposition of minerals within many biological tissues is a controlled process. Among the most active agents that control biological mineralization are a group of unusually acidic proteins and glycoproteins. These can interact specifically with some crystal faces but not others, induce oriented nucleation, or intercalate in a regular manner into the crystal lattice itself.
