Preliminary Studies of the Ultracentrifugal and Free Zone Electrophoresis Characteristics of Neutral Soluble Proteins of Bovine Embryo Enamel
Chapter
Abstract
The organic matrix of tooth enamel is the most densely calcified tissue in the body. In order to understand calcification and its many facets, one of the prerequisites is to first learn as much as we can about the chemistry and molecular structure of the fibrous proteins that are involved. Much knowledge has been gained in the past about the physical and chemical properties of collagen but relatively little is known of the fibrous protein that constitutes the organic matrix of dental enamel.
