Hydroxyapatite, how does it work?

[Dr.Sailesh Surapureddi]

I sure know that when all the columns fail for separating a 
protein, the last stop is at  HAP, at that time we didnt know how 
it worked, but I think its due to the Phosphate interactions i.e 
the  PO4- and the +charge present on the amino acids, could be 
also due to the diester linkages (though would bet my money on 
the last).

Would like to learn more myself.

Sailesh.
