Mucin gel assembly is controlled by a collective action of non-mucin proteins, disulfide bridges, Ca(2+)-mediated links, and hydrogen bonding
Mucus is characterized by multiple levels of assembly at different length scales which result in a unique set of rheological (flow) and mechanical properties. These physical properties determine its biological function as a highly selective barrier for transport of water and nutrients, while blockin...
