Hydroxyapatite Formation Coexists with Amyloid-like Self-Assembly of Human Amelogenin

Tooth enamel is formed in an extracellular environment. Amelogenin, the major component in the protein matrix of tooth enamel during the developing stage, could assemble into high molecular weight structures, regulating enamel formation. However, the molecular structure of amelogenin protein assembl...
