Dynamic light scattering study of inhibition of nucleation and growth of hydroxyapatite crystals by osteopontin.
We study the effect of isoforms of osteopontin (OPN) on the nucleation and growth of crystals from a supersaturated solution of calcium and phosphate ions. Dynamic light scattering is used to monitor the size of the precipitating particles and to provide information about their concentration. At the...
