Structural characteristics of human salivary statherin: a model for boundary lubrication at the enamel surface

A three-dimensional structural model for salivary statherin in aqueous phase has been developed using structure prediction, circular dichroism, molecular modeling, and mechanics. The relevant structural features of statherin are N-terminal helix segment connected to a long poly-L-proline type II seg...
