Comparative studies on the colloidal calcium phosphate structure
Many biofluids are supersaturated with respect to hydroxyapatite (HA) by forming complexes between phosphopeptides and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP). The purpose is to maintain the integrity of bones and teeth without mineralising the surrounding soft tissues. We propose here to use contrast variation techniques to carry out a comparative study to characterise the core phase of nanoclusters prepared with either bovine osteopontin peptide (OPN 1-149) or casein, taking advantage of the q-range available at the D16 instrument.
