Deposition of Thin Films of Biocompatible Calcium Carbonate via Template-Driven Mineralization
Ajikumar, Parayil Kumaran; Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani; Valiyaveettil, Suresh (2004-01)Natural bone is a composite of collagen based hydrogel and inorganic dahilite crystals. The unusual combination of a hard inorganic material and an underlying elastic hydrogel network endows native bone with unique mechanical ... -
Designer peptides to understand the mineralization of calcium salts
Ajikumar, Parayil Kumaran; Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani; Valiyaveettil, Suresh; Kini, R. Manjunatha (2003-01)Recently, we reported the extraction, purification and amino acid sequence of ansocalcin, the major goose eggshell matrix protein. In vitro studies showed that ansocalcin induces spherical calcite crystal aggregates. We ... -
Eggshell Matrix Protein Mimetics: Elucidation of Molecular Mechanism of Goose Eggshell Calcification using Designed Peptides
Ajikumar, Parayil Kumaran; Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani; Valiyaveettil, Suresh; Kini, R. Manjunatha (2004-01)Model peptides were designed, synthesized and conducted a detailed structure-property study to unravel the molecular mechanism of goose eggshell calcification. The peptides were designed based on the primary structural ...
