Solid state NMR investigation of protein based biomaterials : Pacific hagfish slime thread and recombinant insect resilin

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) was employed to investigate the structure and mechanics underlying the material properties of two remarkable biomaterials. Hydrated hagfish intermediate filament (IF) proteins were identified as having a two component nature, consistent with current structural models...
