Biomimetic encapsulant : purification and self-assembly of natural coiled-coil proteins from marine snail Busycotypus canaliculatus egg case membranes
Due to the harsh environment of its natural habitat, the eggs of Busycotypus canaliculatus have developed a unique shock-absorbing property, protecting the embryos from harm. This material is of interest in the biomimetic materials engineering field as a bio-encapsulant as its properties make it sui...
