Popis: | Conformations of the organic matrix proteins in rat and bovine enamel were examined using X-ray diffraction and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. These were compared with the extracted and purified proteins. The acidic enamelins, both in situ and in the purified form, are in the β-sheet conformation. The hydrophobic amelogenins, on the other hand, do not show any identifiable regular conformations in situ or when purified. |
