Abstract excerpt
Human salivary acidic proline-rich proteins (PRPs) constitute a significant fraction of the total salivary protein and possess important biological activities. Different genetic and post-translationally processed forms of the PRPs exhibit significant quantitative variations in several of these activities, especially the modulation of salivary calcium phosphate chemistry and oral bacterial adhesion. To quantify...
