Mechanisms of elasticity in elastic proteins
This thesis investigates the mechanical properties of the elastic proteins isolated by cyanogen bromide digestion from lamprey cartilages and compares them with the mammalian protein, elastin. Thermomechanical testing and measurements of the effects of hydrophobic solvents on mechanics are used to d...
