摘要：

The possible means by which insect cuticle is stabilised are examined: evidence is presented that secondary interactions between the components are very important in stabilisation. Cuticular proteins are shown to be able to adopt stable secondary structures. It is concluded that cuticle may well be stabilised by changes in the conformation of the proteins, changes in the secondary bonding between the proteins and the inclusion of a polymer filler. Crosslinking of the cuticular components may be of little consequence: the stabilisation would be a result of cuticular dehydration. © 1979.
