Popis: In the present work, we show for the first time, that N ɛ -carboxymethyllysine is the major product of the in vitro non-enzymatic glycation reaction between fibrillar collagen and glucuronic acid . Dual diffusion membrane system was effectively used for oriented crystal growth of octacalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite on the biomimetically carboxymethylated collagen fibrils. We hypothesize that the function of biomimetically carboxymethylated collagen is to increase the local concentration of corresponding ions in such a way that a critical nucleus of ions can be formed, leading to the formation of the mineral under specific micro-environment conditions achieved by using diffusion membrane system.
