Effects of Asp-containing peptides at different concentrations on obtuse step velocity on
calcite (104) face. Dipeptides and 27-mer peptides (a) and aspartic acids of increasing molecular
size (b) were used. v and v0 are step velocities in presence and absence of peptides, respectively.

Analysis of the interaction of COM and full length osteopontin was also
performed [

]. Osteopontin obtained from cow's milk (mOPN) contains 25
phosphorylated residues, whereas osteopontin from rat's bone (bOPN) contains
10 phosphorylated residues. The binding effects to COM of these phosphorylated
