The effect of polypropylene on the formation of byssal threads produced by Dreissena polymorpha (zebra mussels) [PDF]
, 2020 The presence of microfibers and microplastics in the environment is an ever-growing ecological concern. Accumulation of microplastics (plastic particles smaller than 5 mm) in aquatic environments and the subsequent exposure of these particles to ...

Activity Dependence of a Novel Lectin Family on Structure and Carbohydrate-Binding Properties
Molecules, 2019 A GalNAc/Gal-specific lectins named CGL and MTL were isolated and characterized from the edible mussels Crenomytilus grayanus and Mytilus trossulus. Amino acid sequence analysis of these lectins showed that they, together with another lectin MytiLec-1 ...

pH‐Tunable Material Properties of Glycine‐Rich Condensates from Tick Bioadhesive
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work studies the influence of pH on the phase separation behavior of a disordered glycine‐rich protein found in tick bioadhesive. The results show profound impact on the propensity of coacervation, condensate microstructure and viscosity, amphiphilicity of the peptides, and effective encapsulation of therapeutic molecules.
