title: Studies of the secondary structures of amelogenin from bovine tooth enamel.
abstract: Circular dichroism and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic studies of the major amelogenin protein of developing bovine tooth enamel in solution and in the solid state suggest a unique secondary structure containing beta-sheet and repetitive beta-turn structures. The repetitive beta-turn structure at the C-terminal end results from the unique primary structure of amelogenin.
