    Main Results:

    • Absorption maxima characteristic of covalently bound sulfate groups disappeared.
    • This suggests that the sulfate groups of chondroitin-4-sulphate are involved in binding to the hydroxyapatite crystal lattice.
    • The findings provide insights into the molecular interactions at the interface.

    Conclusions:

    • Sulfate groups of chondroitin-4-sulphate likely mediate its binding to hydroxyapatite.
    • Transmission infrared spectroscopy is a valuable tool for studying organic film formation on tooth surfaces.
    • The technique can elucidate mechanisms of endogenous mineralization.
