Journal ArticleDOI
Biological materials: Structure and mechanical properties
TL;DR: In this article, the basic building blocks are described, starting with the 20 amino acids and proceeding to polypeptides, polysaccharides, and polyprotein-saccharide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and mechanical properties of crab exoskeletons.
TL;DR: The structure and mechanical properties of the exoskeleton (cuticle) of the sheep crab (Loxorhynchus grandis) were investigated and it was found that the exocuticle (outer layer) is two times harder than the endocuticles (inner layer).
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical strength of abalone nacre: Role of the soft organic layer
TL;DR: A major conclusion of this investigation is that the role of the organic layer is primarily to subdivide the CaCO(3) matrix into platelets with thickness of 0.5 microm, which may not be significant in providing a glue between adjacent tiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative Imaging of Transcription in Living Drosophila Embryos Links Polymerase Activity to Patterning
TL;DR: This work directly addresses how boundaries of gene expression emerge in the Drosophila embryo by measuring the absolute number of actively transcribing polymerases in real time in individual nuclei and shows that the formation of a boundary cannot be quantitatively explained by the rate of mRNA production, but instead requires amplification of the dynamic range of the expression boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth and structure in abalone shell
Albert Lin,Marc A. Meyers +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the growth and self-assembly of aragonitic calcium carbonate found in the shell of abalone (Haliotis) is described through a close examination of laboratory-grown flat pearl samples and cross-sectional slices of the nacreous shell.
