Minicollagen cysteine-rich domains encode distinct modes of polymerization to form stable nematocyst capsules
The stinging capsules of cnidarians, nematocysts, function as harpoon-like organelles with unusual biomechanical properties. The nanosecond discharge of the nematocyst requires a dense protein network of the capsule structure withstanding an internal pressure of up to 150 bar. Main components of the...
