Prettier than dyed eggs?
The cocoons, the silkworm itself, and the produced silk become colored when dye is incorporated into the silkworm feed. The concentration of dye in the produced silk changes based on how hydrophobic the dye is (increasing partition coefficient).
Staying Soluble with Transitioning Polypeptides
This paper is an exciting step towards mimicking the conformational changes observed in natural proteins without loss in solubility.
