Abstract
Because of recent observations of the demineralization of enamel by phosphoprotein phosphatase, an experiment was designed to test this enzyme on bone. Decided destruction was evident in bone fragments that were incubated with phosphoprotein phosphatase buffered to pH 5.8 with 0.1 M acetate for periods of up to 15 hours.Keywords
