[Study on the formation mechanism of soluble complexes containing bovine serum albumin and calcium hydroxyapatite and calcium carbonate].
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to study the composition and microstructure of soluble complexes produced by different initial mole ratios of bovine serum albumin(BSA) and calcium hydroxyapatite [Ca10(OH)2(PO4)6] and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in aqueous solution. The band shifts and intensity variations suggested that calcium complexes with multiple ligands such as BSA, apatite, carbonate as well as the hydrogen bond network formed in titled system. The interactions increased the solubility of Ca10 (OH)2(PO4)6 and CaCO3 and the composition of soluble complexes is nonstoichiometric. The results provided an ideal model to investigated biomineralization process.
