Key Points

This research aims to uncover the mechanisms of phospholipid hydrolysis and its role in mineralisation during bone formation.
Utilized quantum chemical calculations to explore molecular interactions.
Conducted experimental analysis to observe mineralisation rates of different phospholipids.
Compared the effects of phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine on bone mineralisation.
Phosphatidylserine induced faster mineralisation compared to phosphatidylcholine.
Identified distinct molecular mechanisms involved in phospholipid hydrolysis.
Highlighted the pivotal role of phospholipids in early bone formation processes.

Abstract

Phospholipids play key roles in bone formation, with phosphatidylserine (PS) reportedly inducing more rapid mineralisation than phosphatidylcholine (PC); however, the underlying mechanisms remains unclear.
