title: The inhibitory effects of ATP, ADP, and AMP on the rate of dissolution of calcium hydroxyapatite.
abstract: ATP is as effective as inorganic pyrophosphate in retarding the rate of dissolution of calcium hydroxyapatite at pH 7, ADP is less effective, and AMP is without effect. The inhibition is due to the adsorption of ATP and ADP units on the crystal surface.
