Amelogenin supramolecular assembly in nanospheres defined by a complex helix-coil-PPII helix 3D-structure.

Tooth enamel, the hardest material in the human body, is formed within a self-assembled matrix consisting mostly of amelogenin proteins. Here we have determined the complete mouse amelogenin structure under physiological conditions and defined interactions between individual domains. NMR spectroscop...
