Application of recent advances in hydrodynamic methods for characterising mucins in solution (2015)
Journal Article
Almutairi, F. M., Cifre, J. H., Adams, G. G., Kök, M. S., Mackie, A. R., de la Torre, J. G., & Harding, S. E. (2016). Application of recent advances in hydrodynamic methods for characterising mucins in solution. European Biophysics Journal, 45(1), 45-54. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00249-015-1075-0

Mucins are the primary macromolecular component of mucus—nature’s natural lubricant—although they are poorly characterised heterogeneous substances. Recent advances in hydrodynamic methodology now offer the opportunity for gaining a better understand...

Although like proteins, polysaccharides are synthesized by enzymes, unlike proteins there is no template. This means that they are polydisperse, do not generally have compact folded structures, and are often very large with greater nonideality behavi...
