Biomimetic fibronectin/mineral and osteogenic growth peptide/mineral composites synthesized on calcium phosphate thin films

Abstract

Composites of fibronectin/mineral and osteogenic growth peptide/mineral were synthesized on calcium phosphate coated substrates immersed in Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline solution containing biomolecules. The kinetics of coprecipitation for two biomolecules was similar, and the biomolecules participated in the formation of the crystal latticework and influenced the mineral structure and composition.
