Abstract

I shall briefly trace the developments leading to the hypothesis that polyanionic proteins from molluscan shell and dentin play a predominate role in initial mineral formation and present our recent experiments that support this hypothesis. I shall concentrate on the developments related to the role of the soluble matrix from molluscan shell because more progress has been made with the system.
