Sequence basis of Barnacle Cement Nanostructure is Defined by Proteins with Silk Homology
Barnacles adhere by producing a mixture of cement proteins (CPs) that organize into a permanently bonded layer displayed as nanoscale fibers. These cement proteins share no homology with any other marine adhesives, and a common sequence-basis that defines how nanostructures function as adhesives remains undiscovered. Here we demonstrate that a significant unidentified portion of acorn barnacle ...
متن کاملCement Proteins of the Acorn Barnacle,
Components of the proteinaceous cement secreted by barnacles have yet to be studied because of their insolubility. We solubilized and characterized the proteins of secondary cement, which is produced when the barnacle is detached from the substratum, in Megabalanus rosa. The cement was fractionated, according to its solubility in aqueous formic acid, into a soluble fraction, SF1 (2 1%); a fract...
متن کاملReinforcement of Glass Ionomer Cement: Incorporating with Silk Fiber
The aim of this study was to synthesis of glass ionomer-silk fiber composite and to evaluate the effect of adding natural degummed silk fiber on the mechanical properties of glass ionomer cement (GIC). For this purpose, natural degummed silk fibers with 1 mm in length and 13-16 µm in diameter were added to the ceramic component of a commercial glass ionomer cement in 1, 3 and 5 wt. %. Compressi...
متن کاملOn difference sequence spaces defined by Orlicz functions without convexity
In this paper, we first define spaces of single difference sequences defined by a sequence of Orlicz functions without convexity and investigate their properties. Then we extend this idea to spaces of double sequences and present a new matrix theoretic approach construction of such double sequence spaces.
متن کاملSequence homology of androgen-regulated epididymal proteins
a 5\m='\-incompleteopen reading frame of 525 base pairs. The 3\m='\-untranslatedregion of 946 base pairs contains a repetitive DNA element of the rodent B1 family just between two canonical polyadenylation signals AATAAA, upstream of the poly(A) track. The deduced amino acid sequence for the Mr 24 000 proteins reveals significant homologies of 66\m=.\6,66, 65\m=.\2,63\m=.\1 and 64\m=.\5%with mo...
