Modification of collagen with proanthocyanidins by mimicking the bridging role of glycosaminoglycans for dentine remineralization
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) form bridging cross-bands that maintain structural integrity of collagen in the organic matrix of dentine. In dentine caries, proteolytic enzymes appeared to trigger GAGs bridge degradation, followed by breakdown of the collagen network, imposing critical limitations on den...
