Check out our 'Case study of a protein-based biopolymer using solid-state NMR' by @BbmlNtu . Glad sharing my poster at #GlobalnmrTC2022. We studied proteins in velvet worm slime; collab w/ @XiangyanS and KPervushin @NTUsg… Looking forward to discussions this week @global_nmr 🙂 pic.twitter.com/N55eePIE5y

In our research, we study a protein-based biopolymer – the slime from velvet worms. This slime has unique physico-chemical properties which can inspire novel recyclable sustainable materials. Combining bioinformatics and biophysical tools, we propose the mechanism of structural transitions from viscous crude slime solution to fibers with high tensile stiffness.
