    Notes: Abstract Photovoltaic effect (infrared and visible light) is observed in bone and its two major components, collagen and apatite, at room temperature. A dimunition in the magnitude of photovoltage is observed after exposure to ultraviolet light in all the cases. The drift mobility of the charge carriers is obtained by measuring I versus V relationships in sandwich samples and relating them to the permitivity of the medium. Lifetime of the injected carriers is measured in the usual way. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that the effects are due to protonic conduction phenomena.

    Notes: Summary Calcium-deficient carbonate apatites in urinary calculi from 17 patients have been studied. Magnesium ions in each case were detected as a component of apatite. In most of the cases, CO 3 2− ions were included in the apatitic lattice. Using a calcination procedure, we have determined the most probable average value for the CO 3 2− content, degree of deficiency, x, and the Mg/Ca ratio in each sample.

    Notes: Summary Experimental ectopic calcification caused by intravenous injection of lead acetate (Pb−Ac) followed by subcutaneous injection of polymyxin B sulfate (PMX) in the rat was studied by the methods of quantitative chemical analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis using samples freed of organic matter by low temperature ashing (LTA). In all specimens, X-ray diffraction data showed the presence of an apatitic phase. In addition, several unknown peaks, the intensities of which weakened with time, were found. These peaks were established to be those of lead pyrophosphate (Pb2P2O7) when compared with the Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards (JCPDS), formerly the ASTM index. Improvements in crystallinity of the apatitic phase was accompanied by the increases in the amounts of calcium, phosphorus and carbonate in the LTA ash. The amount of magnesium, on the contrary, decreased from 3 to days. The molar Ca/P ratio was near to 1.5 up to 10 days and then increased to 1.59 at 40 days. When the LTA ash was heated at 600° C, the major crystal phase wasβ-tricalcium phosphate and the minor phase was hydroxyapatite up to 10 days; after that the relationship between the two phases was reversed. It is suggested that the characteristics of calcium phosphate in the native state was transformed between 10 and 20 days after administration of Pb−Ac and PMX.

    Notes: Summary A thermodynamic analysis has been made of the secondary transition stage in the spontaneous precipitation of calcium phosphate following the amorphous-crystalline transformation. The first formed crystalline material has a solubility similar to that of octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and the computed thermodynamic solubility product remains invariant in the pH range 7.00–8.60. The duration of the secondary stage is sensitive to pH and the transition appears to occur by hydrolysis of the first formed OCP-like phase to a more basic apatitic phase with a tricalcium phosphate (TCP) stoichiometry. The crystalline material at the end of this transition has an invariant solubility product, in the pH range 7.00 to 8.60, when the TCP-like molecular formula is assumed. Changes in the solution chemistry which accompany the solid-tosolid transitions are consistent with the above conclusions. The results of this study are also consistent with those of a previous study which suggest that the stability of the amorphous calcium phosphate phase is dependent upon the instability of the solution phase with respect to OCP formation.

    Notes: Summary A thermodynamic analysis of the precipitation of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and its transformation to crystalline apatite has been made. A nearly constant ion product, over a wide variety of conditions, was obtained for a tricalcium phosphate (TCP)-like phase suggesting that the molecular unit which governs the solubility of ACP may be similar in composition to TCP. The introduction of 10% acid phosphate into the formula for the TCP ion product improves the fit of experimental data and results in an invariant ion product. The stability of ACP in solution was found to be dependent upon its thermodynamic instability with respect to an octacalcium phosphate (OCP)-like phase. The dependence of the induction period for the amorphous to crystalline transformation upon the pH and the Ca/P ratio of the solution is best explained by the assumption that an OCP-like phase is initially nucleated on the surfaces of the ACP particles. The events that occur in the immediate post-transition period suggest the hydrolysis of this OCP-like material to an apatitic phase.

    Notes: Summary The maturation of calcium phosphate crystals formed by the conversion of spontaneously precipitated amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) was studied in aqueous media at temperatures ranging from 20° to 37°. Reaction pH was kept at 7.4 with either Hepes buffer or by the pH-stat addition of base. Reaction kinetics were followed by monitoring solution calcium and total phosphate, and, in the pH-stat controlled reaction, by recording the amount of KOH needed to maintain pH. Reaction products were examined chemically and by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microcopy. The first crystals to form deviated markedly from apatite in morphology, composition, structure, and solubility. They were extremely thin and flaky in appearance, had a low Ca/P molar ratio (1.4), contained an appreciable amount of acid phosphate (16%), and had an exceptionally largea-axis (10.5 Å vs. 9.4 Å for apatite). With maturation, the crystals became thicker but smaller in lateral dimensions, more apatitelike in structure and composition, and less soluble. However, this ripening of the crystals was accompanied by unusual inflections in the solution Ca and total PO4 curves, and, in the case of the pH-stat experiments, in the OH consumption profiles as well. These anomalous post-ACP solution changes suggest that a phase change had taken place during crystal maturation. Although the observed structural and compositional changes are not inconsistent with the perfection of an initially defective apatite, the changes in crystal morphology and the anomalous behavior of the reaction solution may more accurately reflect a conversion of the ACP first into an OCP-like crystalline phase which subsequently hydrolyzes into apatite.

    Notes: Abstract Apatite formation from synthetic extracellular fluids is rate-limited both at the initial amorphous precursor deposition step and at the amorphous-crystalline transformation reaction. Nucleotide diphosphates and triphosphates and low molecular weight metabolites containing two attached ester phosphate groups all inhibited amorphous-crystalline conversion at concentrations of 10−5 to 10−6 M. Both native and synthetic polynucleotides as well as the phosphoproteins from rat dentin or egg yolk also inhibited crystal formation from amorphous calcium phosphate. In all cases, substantial amounts of inhibitor molecules were incorporated into the stabilized amorphous precipitates. Treatment of isolated, inhibitor-stabilized amorphous precipitates with hydrolytic enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase or papain reversed the inhibitory effect and permitted crystallization to proceed normally.

    Notes: Summary Published data on adsorption and condensation of amino acids, purine and pyrimidine bases, sugars, nucleosides, and nucleotides are analyzed in connection with Bernal's hypothesis that clays and other minerals may have provided the most likely surface for adsorption and condensation of these molecules in prebiotic times. Using surface concentration and reaction rate as the main criteria for the feasibility of condensation reactions, four types of prebiotic environments were analyzed: (1) an ocean-sediment system, (2) a dehydrated lagoon bed produced by evaporation, (3) the surface of a frozen sediment, and (4) a fluctuating system where hydration (rainstorms, tidal variations, flooding) and dehydration (evaporation) take place in a cyclic manner. With the possible exception of nucleotides, low adsorption of organomonomers on sediment surfaces of a prebiotic ocean (pH 8) is expected, and significant condensation is considered unlikely. In dehydrated and frozen systems, high surface concentrations are probable and condensation is more likely. In fluctuating environments, condensation rates will be enhanced and the size distribution of the oligomers formed during dehydration may be influenced by a “redistribution mechanism” in which adsorbed oligomers and monomers are desorbed and redistributed on the solid surface during the next hydration-dehydration cycle.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des ions de Mg, Sr et F sont inhibitoires pour la formation de l'apatite quand on les ajoute à un tampon de calcification, séparément ou en combinaisons. La précipitation de l'apatite causée par des cristaux d'apatite est moins sensible à l'action inhibitrice que la nucléation spontanée et que la précipitation catalysée par la collagène d'os de mouton. La précipitation spontanée ou catalysée sont approximativement aussi sensibles. L'inhibition par des combinaisons de Mg avec des ions de Sr ou de F est additive. Ces résultats montrent que ces inhibiteurs ont acucune action spécifique sur la catalysation par la collagène de l'os de mouton qui soit différente de celle sur la nucléation de l'apatite en soi.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Mg, Sr und F Ionen hemmten die Fällung von Apatit wenn sie zu einem Calciumphosphatpuffer einzeln oder zusammen hinzugefügt wurden. Die Fällung von Apatit durch Apatitkeime war weniger empfindlich hinsichtlich der Hemmung als die spontane Nucleation und als die Fällung von Apatit, welche von Schafsknochenkollagen katalysiert werden kann. Die spontane und katalysierte Fällung sind ungefähr gleich empfindlich. Die Hemmung von Mg in Kombination mit Sr oder F Ionen war additiv. Diese Resultate weisen darauf hin, daß keine spezifischen Effekte bei der Katalyse von Knochenkollagen vorliegen, welche von den Effekten bei der Nucleation von Apatit an sich verschieden sind.
    Notes: Abstract Mg, Sr and F ions acted as inhibitors of apatite formation when added to a calcification buffer separately or in combinations. The precipitation of apatite under the influence of apatite seeds was less susceptible to inhibition than were spontaneous nucleation and apatite formation catalyzed by sheep bone collagen, while the latter two were about equally susceptible. Combinations of Mg with Sr or F ions showed additive effects. These results suggest that no specific effects of these inhibitors occurred on the catalytic action of the bone collagen different from their effects on the nucleation of apatite as such.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé D'après la littérature, il semble que les poissons soient obligées d'hyperventiler en CO2, pour recevoir suffisamment d'oxygène. Ils présenteraient par suite une quantité faible de bicarbonate circulant. Dans cet ordre d'idée, les arêtes de truites et de carpes ont été analysés pour établir si la composition du minéral osseux traduit la faible concentration en bicarbonate sérique. Le contenu en CO2 d'arêtes de poissons n'est pas significativement différent de celui des os normaux de mammifères. Des crîstaux d'apatite synthétique, préparés dans des conditions identiques de T, μ et (HCO 3 − ), ne contiennent que 1/7ème à 1/8ème du CO2 d'arêtes de poissons. Ces résultats indiquent que la composition des liquides dans l'os ne réfléchit pas simplement la composition du sérum circulant, ainsi qu'on l'admet généralement.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es ist in der Literatur berichtet worden, daß Fische, um genügend Sauerstoff zu erhalten, einen Überschuß von Kohlensäure einatmen müssen und folglich einen niedrigen Gehalt an Bicarbonaten im Kreislauf aufweisen. Knochen von Forellen und Karpfen wurden analysiert, um festzustellen, ob ihre Mineralsalzzusammensetzungen die niedrigen Serum-bicarbonate-konzentrationen wiederspiegeln. Die Resultate zeigten keinen wesentlichen Unterschied zwischen dem Carbonatgehalt der Knochen von Fischen und Säugetieren. Synthetische Apatitkristalle, die unter ähnlichen Bedingungen von T, μ und HCO3 bereitet wurden, wiesen nur 1/7–1/8 des Carbonatgehaltes der Fischknochen auf. Diese Ergebnisse deuten zweifellos darauf hin, daß zwischen der Zusammensetzung der Gewebeflüssigkeit der Knochen und des Serums kein einfacher Zusammenhang besteht.
    Notes: Abstract It has been reported in the literature that fish, to get sufficient oxygen, must overventilate with respect to CO2 and therefore exhibit a low circulating level of bicarbonate. Accordingly, the bones of trout and carp were analyzed to learn if the composition of their bone mineral reflects the low serum level of bicarbonate. It was found that the CO2 content of fish bone is not significantly different from that of normal mammalian bone. Synthetic apatite crystals, made under comparable conditions of T, μ, and (HCO 3 − ) were found to contain only 1/7th to 1/8th the CO2 of fish bone. These data strongly suggest that the composition of the fluids in bone does not reflect, in a simple way, the composition of the circulating serum as is generally assumed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous avons utilisé de la collagène d'os de mounton et de tendons de queues de rats et des cristaux d'apatite pour étudier dans un système modèle la catalysation de la nucléation et la déposition de minéral dans un tampon métastabile. La collagène d'os de mouton se trouvait être un bon catalysateur, tandis que des expériences antérieures ont démontré que la collagène de tendons de queues de rats était un catalysateur très faible. Le phase rapide de la déposition de l'apatite dans la collagène se termine aussitôt que le contenu du minéral a attaint au plus 50 à 60 pour cent, bien que la supersaturation du tampon est encore bien èlevée. Les résultats montrent que dans un tel système modèle la quantité du depôt minéral est réglée par des facteurs semblables à ceux qui opèrent pendant la calcification biologique.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Kollagen aus Schafsknochen und Rattenschwanzsehnen und Apatitkeime wurden verwendet in einem Modell-System zur Untersuchung der katalytischen Nukleation und der Fällung von Mineral in einem metastabilen Calciumphosphatpuffer. Kollagen aus Schafsknochen war ein guter Katalysator für die Nukleation, während in früheren Versuchen sich herausstellte, daß Rattenschwanzkollagen ein ganz schlechter Katalysator ist. Die schnelle Phase der Apatitfällung im Kollagen war beendet, wenn der Mineralgehalt bis zu 50–60% angestiegen war, obwohl der Puffer noch stark übersättigt war. Die Resultate weisen daraufhin, daß die Menge des gefällten Minerals in einem solchen Modell-System von ähnlichen Faktoren reguliert wird wie die biologische Verkalkung.
    Notes: Abstract Sheep bone collagen, rat tail tendon collagen and apatite seeds were used in a model system to study nucleation catalysis and mineral deposition in a metastable calcification buffer. Sheep bone collagen was shown to be a good nucleation catalyst, while earlier experiments have shown that rat tail tendon collagen was a very poor catalyst. The rapid phase of apatite deposition in the collagen was terminated as soon as a mineral content of not more than 50–60 per cent was reached, although the buffer was still highly supersaturated. The results suggest that the amount of mineral deposited in such a model system is regulated by factors similar to those operating in biological calcification.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le premier solide qui se forme au cours de la précipitation des phosphates de calcium, à partir de solutions basiques, est non-cristallin au point de vue structural. L'existence d'une solution saline non-cristalline d'orthophosphate n'est, cependant, pas propre au système des phosphates de calcium. Des phosphates de magnésium et des phosphates de magnésium — ammonium non-cristallins peuvent également être préparés dans des conditions similaires: mais, contrairement au sel calcique, qui se transforme en hydroxyl-apatite, ces composés sont apparemment stable. Des solutions basiques d'orthophosphates de strontium et de baryum ne forment pas de produits intermédiaires non-cristallins. Pour le strontium, la phase intermédiaire est constituée par le Sr3(PO4)2·4H2O, alors que le phosphate de baryum se précipite immédiatement sous forme d'un hydroxyl-apatite de baryum stable. Le phosphate de tristrontium se transforme cependant par autocatalyse en hydroxylapatite de strontium. La stoïchiométrie similaire et le comportement cinétique identique du produit intermédiaire de strontium avec ceux du phosphate de calcium amorphe semblent indiquer que ce dernier est constitué par un phosphate tricalcique plutôt que par une hydroxyl-apatite crypto-cristalline, déficiente en calcium. Ces faits semblent confirmer la possibilité non-apatitique de la phase non-cristalline du minéral osseux. Il peut s'agir d'un composé séparé et distinct.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Der erste feste Bestandteil, welcher beim Fällen von Calciumphosphat aus alkalischen Lösungen erscheint, ist strukturmäßig nicht-kristallin. Allerdings ist das Vorkommen eines nicht-kristallinen, aus einer Lösung hergestellten Orthophosphatsalzes nicht nur dem Calcium-phosphat-System eigen, können doch auch nicht-kristalline Magnesiumphosphate und Magnesiumammoniumphosphate unter ähnlichen Bedingungen gewonnen werden. Im Gegensatz zum Calciumsalz sind diese Verbindungen jedoch in Lösung anscheinend stabil. Alkalisch hergestellte Lösungen von Strontium- und Barium-Orthophosphaten ergeben keine nicht-kristalline Zwischenverbindungen. Für Strontium ist die intermediäre Phase Sr3(PO4)2·4H2O, während das Barium sogleich als Bariumhydroxyapatit ausfällt. Das Tristrontiumphosphat hingegen verwandelt sich autokatalytisch zu Strontiumhydroxyapatit. Die ähnliche stöchiometrische Form und das identische kinetische Verhalten der Strontium-Zwischenverbindung mit jener des amorphen Calciumphosphates läßt den Schluß zu, daß das Calciumphosphat eher ein Tricalciumphosphat als ein kryptokristallines, calciumarmes Hydroxyapatit sein könnte. Diese Annahme erhärtet die These, wonach die nichtkristalline Phase im Knochenmineral kein Apatit, sondern eine bestimmte, eigenständige Verbindung wäre.
    Notes: Abstract The first solid to appear in the precipitation of calcium phosphates from basic solutions is structurally non-crystalline. The existence, however, of a solution-prepared, non-crystalline orthophosphate salt is not unique only to the calcium phosphate system. Non-crystalline magnesium phosphates and magnesium ammonium phosphates can also be prepared under comparable conditions, but unlike the calcium salt, which converts into hydroxyapatite, these latter compounds are apparently solution stable. Preparations of strontium and barium orthophosphates from basic solution do not yield non-crystalline intermediates. For strontium, the intermediate phase is Sr3(PO4)2·4H2O, whereas the barium precipitates immediately as a stable barium hydroxyapatite. The tristrontium phosphate, however, converts autocatalytically into strontium hydroxyapatite. The analogous stoichiometry and identical kinetic behavior of the strontium intermediate with that of the amorphous calcium phosphate suggest that the latter could be a tricalcium phosphate rather than a cryptocrystalline Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite. This supports the possibility that the non-crystalline phase in bone mineral may not be an apatite but instead a distinct and separate compound.
