Pyrophosphate-Inhibition of Apatite Formation Studied by In Situ X-Ray Diffraction
The pathways to crystals are still under debate, especially for materials relevant to biomineralization, such as calcium phosphate apatite known from bone and teeth. Pyrophosphate is widely used in biology to control apatite formation since it is a potent inhibitor of apatite crystallization. The im...
