The characterization of reflectin protonic conductivity by Reyes, Jacob

“…Cephalopods, such as the Sepioteuthis lessioniana (S. lessionia), possess the remarkable defensive mechanism of camouflage, seemingly altering incoming light and changing the colour of its skin to its surrounding environment. Research has revealed that this ability stems from the cephalopod’s iridophores, and, more importantly, reflectin protein nanoparticles that alter the dimension and structure of the overall ensemble of said iridophores. …”
