title: Characterization of Bacterionema matruchotii calcification nucleator.
abstract: The nucleator of Bacterionema matruchotii calcification was characterized. Parameters examined were: proteolipid purity and singularity, amino acid composition and relative polarity, phospholipid composition, apoprotein homogeneity, essentiality of the complex for nucleation, and ordered structure. The data fulfill a requirement for comparisons among apatite-nucleating proteolipids.
