Elongated polyproline motifs facilitate enamel evolution through matrix subunit compaction

Elongated polyproline motifs facilitate enamel evolution through matrix subunit compaction

Vertebrate body designs rely on hydroxyapatite as the principal mineral component of relatively light-weight, articulated endoskeletons and sophisticated tooth-bearing jaws, facilitating rapid movement and efficient predation. Biological mineralization and skeletal growth are frequently accomplished...
