The expanded amelogenin polyproline region preferentially binds to apatite versus carbonate and promotes apatite crystal elongation
The transition from invertebrate calcium carbonate-based calcite and aragonite exo- and endoskeletons to the calcium phosphate-based vertebrate backbones and jaws composed of microscopic hydroxyapatite crystals is one of the great revolutions in the evolution of terrestrial organisms. To identify po...
