The tardigrade protein CAHS D interacts with, but does not retain, water in hydrated and desiccated systems
Abstract Tardigrades are a group of microscopic animals renowned for their ability to survive near complete desiccation. A family of proteins, unique to tardigrades, called Cytoplasmic Abundant Heat Soluble (CAHS) proteins are necessary to mediate robust desiccation tolerance in these animals. Howev...
