title: Characterization of calculus matrix calcification nucleator.
abstract: The nucleator of dental calculus matrix calcification, in vitro, was analyzed. Attention focused on proteolipid singularity, amino acid composition and related polarity, and phospholipid components. The data were compared to those of the nucleator of Bacterionema matruchotii calcification.
