dc.description.abstract | Biomineralization is an important process, which is often assisted by biomolecules. In this paper, the effect of chondroitin sulfate on the crystallization of hydroxyapatite was examined quantitatively based on a generic heterogeneous nucleation model. It is found that chondroitin sulfate can suppress the supersaturation-driven interfacial structure mismatch between the hydroxyapatite crystal and the substrate and promote the formation of ordered hydroxyapatite nanocrystallite assemblies. The nucleation mechanism of self-aligned hydroxyapatite nanocrystallites was examined from the viewpoints of kinetics and interfacial structure and properties, which contributes to an understanding of the fundamentals of biomineralization of self-assembled structures. The results obtained from this study will provide a basic principle to design and fabricate highly orderly organic-inorganic hybrid materials. © 2005 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. | |
