Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Maintains Casein Microarchitecture while Modulating Bacterial Growth Kinetics.
Casein, the primary source of protein in ruminant milk, represents a family of proteins that self-assemble into globules composed of finer spherical subunits and stabilized by calcium phosphate (CP) nanoparticles. These globules act as holdase-type chaperones for unfolded or partially folded proteins, preventing their...
