Lepidopteran wing scales contain abundant cross-linked film-forming histidine-rich cuticular proteins

Liu et al. analyse the protein composition of developing wing scales in the domestic silk moth. This molecular study of scales provides fundamental information about how such a fine microstructure is constructed and insights into the potential application of His-rich cuticular proteins as new biomat...

Sumario:Liu et al. analyse the protein composition of developing wing scales in the domestic silk moth. This molecular study of scales provides fundamental information about how such a fine microstructure is constructed and insights into the potential application of His-rich cuticular proteins as new biomaterials.
