A fast recoiling silk-like elastomer facilitates nanosecond nematocyst discharge
BACKGROUND: The discharge of the Cnidarian stinging organelle, the nematocyst, is one of the fastest processes in biology and involves volume changes of the highly pressurised (150 bar) capsule of up to 50%. Hitherto, the molecular basis for the unusual biomechanical properties of nematocysts has be...
