Phosphorous‐based templating analogs of extracellular matrix proteins are used as templates in conjunction with polycarboxylic acid‐stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate nanoprecursors to create a highly ordered intrafibrillar apatite crystallite assembly within a collagen fibril. The assembly recapitulates the gap and overlap arrangement of collagen molecules.
