The role of confined collagen geometry in decreasing nucleation energy barriers to intrafibrillar mineralization
Mineralization of collagen is critical for the mechanical functions of bones and teeth. Calcium phosphate nucleation in collagenous structures follows distinctly different patterns in highly confined gap regions (nanoscale confinement) than in less confined extrafibrillar spaces (microscale confinem...
