摘要: This paper emphasizes the importance of protein component cuticles. Correlation electrophoretic charge distribution individual cuticular proteins and physical properties cuticles from which they were extracted, as well interpopulation interspecies conservation patterns, are used to argue that play precise roles in cuticle. Glycosylation is described, but no function for these modifications yet known. Analogy drawn analyses chorion case made analysis amino acid sequence data likely provide insights into how chitin interact construct diverse types
