The pellicles formed on fragments of human dental enamel worn on a palatal appliance for 1 min to 24 h were removed by acid extraction and the total amounts of protein and of acidic proline-rich proteins were determined. The percentage of total extracted protein constituted by the proline-rich proteins increased during the 1st h of formation to .apprx. 37%. Little difference was seen in total proline-rich protein between pellicles formed in a 1- and a 24-h period; but there was a gradual degradation of the proteins. There was no preferential retention of the N- or C-terminal parts of the proteins. Extracts of old acquired dental pellicle contained < 0.1% proline-rich proteins and pellicles > 24 h old showed degradation of the adsorbed proline-rich proteins; there is no indication that the N-terminal part which contains the known biological activities was retained to a greater extent than the C-terminal part.
