Studies demonstrate that flexor tendons contain loosely associated biomolecules which inhibit its mineralization under physiological conditions. Based upon their molecular weights, these inhibitory biomolecules, could be classified into two categories, having molecular weights less than and greater than 13,000 daltons. The main inhibitory biomolecule was found to be an acidic polypeptide having molecular weight of 12,400 daltons.
