Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Resilin
Resilin is an almost perfect elastic protein found in many insects. It can be stretched up to 300% of its resting length and is not affected by creep or stress relaxation. While much is known about the static mechanical properties of resilin, it is most often used dynamically by insects. …

Role of salivary films in assessing astringent compounds
… and precipitation of salivary proline-rich proteins (PRPs), yet this mechanism doesn’t occur with all astringent molecules. It also doesn’t consider the impact of astringents directly on lubricating <br/>properties of the salivary film and salivary proteins bound to the epithelial layer …

Computational investigations of cellular functions: Three cases on membrane morphogenesis, organization and assembly of a multi-protein complex, and the molecular origin of muscle elasticity
… of the biological membrane, assembly of a multi-protein complex, and the molecular origin of elasticity in muscle protein. In the photosynthetic purple bacterium Rhodobacter (Rba.) sphaeroides, light is absorbed by membrane-bound light-harvesting proteins LH1 and LH2. LH1 directly surrounds the …
