The Influence of Salivary Proteins on the Growth, Aggregation and Surface Properties of Hydroxyapatite Particles.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
The adsorption and crystal growth effects of salivary cystatin SA-II and non-glycosylated amylase on hydroxyapatite have been compared to the effects of the salivary cystatins SA-I and SA-III. Amylase was the least active HAP crystal growth inhibitor and adsorbed weakly to HAP. Although the three cystatins were active inhibitors of hydroxyapatite crystal growth in supersaturated solution, their affinities showed marked differences.
