Emulsions of aqueous amelogenin suspensions form when mixed with Octanol/Ethylacetate in the presence of calcium and phosphate, t = 10 min (a); emulsions prepared at pH 4.5 gradually phase separated into an oil and water phase, t = 3h (b) and are completely separated within 48 hours (c). Particle size analysis by time-resolved dynamic light scattering (d) (initial 48 hours not shown due to particle size being out of range) shows a decrease after 2 days from micrometer sized particles to sizes of 30 – 100 nm followed by fluctuations in particle sizes with particles reaching several micrometers in diameter at 6–7 days of incubation at 37°C.
