Coacervation Conditions and Cross-Linking Determines Availability of Carbonyl Groups on Elastin and its Calcification

During medial calcification, calcium phosphate minerals deposit in the medial layer of arteries, causing their stiffening. Although elastin (ELN) has been shown to be the main site for mineral deposition, the sites for mineral nucleation are not clear since ELN is nearly neutral, thus intrinsically...
