Abstract
Full Text 		Self-Assembly and Mineralization of Peptide-Amphiphile Nanofibers
Jeffrey D. Hartgerink, Elia Beniash, and Samuel I. Stupp

Supplementary Material

Supplemental Figure 1. A tilt pair taken from mineralized PA fibers after 30 min of incubation with calcium and phosphate demonstrating the plate shape of the crystals. The crystals that were "edge-on" (electron dense, narrow objects) in the 0° image lose contrast in the 45° rotated image (arrow 1), whereas the contrast of the crystals that were "face-on" in the 0° images increase (arrow 2).

Supplemental Figure 2. (A) Nonphosphorylated PA fibers after 20 min of incubation with calcium and phosphate shows only amorphous mineral deposite concentrate on the fibers. (B) Nonphosphorylated PA after 30 min of incubation with calcium and phosphate continue to show only amorphous mineral in contrast with phosphorylated PA, which shows heavy crystallization at this time point.
