Influence of Sr 2+ on the formation and structure of calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 (OH) 2 : CaHap) particles prepared by hydrolyzing the phenyl phosphate (C 6 H 5 PO 4 H 2) using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) at 37°C was examined. Increasing the additional amount of Sr 2+ increased the Sr content in the products and turned the crystal phase of the products as follow: CaHap solid solution SrCaHap Sr 1.7 Ca 1.3 (PO 4) 2 (3Sr(HPO 4) 2 •Sr 3 (PO 4) 2)•2H 2 O. All the phenyl phosphates were hydrolyzed by ALP at 37°C. The crystallinity and particle size of CaHap decreased with an increase of added Sr 2+ , meaning the inhibition of crystallization and particle growth. These facts suppose that incorporation of Sr 2+ in animal organism suppresses the formation of hard tissues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
