Chemical and Microstructural Characterization of pH and [Ca(2+)] Dependent Sol-Gel Transitions in Mucin Biopolymer

Mucus is responsible for controlling transport and barrier function in biological systems, and its properties can be significantly affected by compositional and environmental changes. In this study, the impacts of pH and CaCl(2) were examined on the solution-to-gel transition of mucin, the primary s...
