Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 18, 27 April 2026.Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...

Sum frequency generation spectroscopy of the attachment disc of a spider [PDF]
, 2021 The pyriform silk of the attachment disc of a spider was studied using infrared-visible vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. The spider can attach dragline and radial lines to many kinds of substrates in nature (concrete, alloy, metal,

Terricolous Spiders (Araneae) of Insecticide-Treated Spruce-Fir Forests in West-Central Maine [PDF]
, 2017 Spiders of 12 families, 42 genera, and at least 62 species were captured in linear-pitfall traps placed in insecticide-treated (Sevin-4-Oil®, Dipel 4L ®, Thuricide 16B®) and untreated spruce-fIr forests of west-central Maine.

Intragenic homogenization and multiple copies of prey-wrapping silk genes in Argiope garden spiders. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundSpider silks are spectacular examples of phenotypic diversity arising from adaptive molecular evolution. An individual spider can produce an array of specialized silks, with the majority of constituent silk proteins encoded by members of the ...

International Journal of Nursing Knowledge, EarlyView.Abstract Background Family engagement is crucial for achieving successful outcomes for both patients and hospitals. It supports safe transitions between care settings, providers, and ultimately, as illness progresses. However, in the hospital setting, family engagement is poorly operationalized.

Acidic Residues Control the Dimerization of the N-terminal Domain of Black Widow Spiders’ Major Ampullate Spidroin 1 [PDF]
, 2016 Dragline silk is the most prominent amongst spider silks and comprises two types of major ampullate spidroins (MaSp) differing in their proline content. In the natural spinning process, the conversion of soluble MaSp into a tough fiber is, amongst other ...
