I tried making my own hydroxyapatite once, using a calcium salt and
phosphate salt to make a precipitate (I forget which salts I used but
could look them up if anyone is interested). BUT when I added a protein
extract (E. coli crude extract) nothing would stick to the column! Is
there some kind of secret to making hydroxyapatite (other than buying it
from Bio Rad, as I do now). Mike
