Summary
[edit]DescriptionCSIRO ScienceImage 1088 Image of a flea with detail showing the resilin pad.jpg |
English: CSIRO scientists have copied nature to produce a near-perfect rubber from resilin, the elastic protein which gives fleas their remarkable jumping ability and helps insects fly.This picture of a flea shows the fluorescent (due to dityrosine) resilin pad in the legs of the flea. This pad is squeezed as the leg muscles operate and all of the energy imparted via the leg muscles is released from the resilin pad in about a millisecond. Resilin has a near-perfect capacity to recover, or 'bounce back', after stress is applied and extraordinary durability, which may have applications in industry and medicine. |
