A comparative study of the swelling and mechanical properties of vertebrate elastins
The swelling-temperature compensation hypothesis as proposed by Gosline and French (1979) is examined by investigating the physical and mechanical properties of an evolutionary series of vertebrate elastins. Temperature-dependent swelling, low water contents and thermodynamics typical of hydrophobi...
