For many years we have investigated the earliest crystal formations of different developing hard tissues (matrix vesicle, bone, dentine, enamel, etc.) by different electron microscopic measurements. It was observed that primarily Ca-phosphate (apatite) "chains," composed of nanometer sized particles (dots, islands), exist, which coalesce rapidly to needles. For the mineralization of collagen (e.g., bone, dentine) the center to center distances between the dots in the mineral chains represent the distances between nucleating sites, so-called "active sites" of collagen which bind primarily Ca for a subsequent nucleation. For the mineralization of noncollagen macromolecules (e.g., enamel) the same principle of mineral nucleation at such "active sites" exists being represented indirectly by corresponding center to center distances between the dots in the mineral chains.
