Latherin wetting and adsorption to hydrophobic surface, in comparison with water and protein (lysozyme) controls: (A) 10, 20 and 50 μl drops, 1 mg/ml, on Nescofilm sheet, followed by rinsing (B), drying and (C) staining for adsorbed protein [5]. (D) The solution structure of latherin: (a) ensemble of 20 latherin models (superimposed) that best fit the experimental NMR data, shown in peptide backbone representation; (b) ribbon model of the representative structure illustrating secondary structure elements. (E) Unfolding model for surface activity. Adapted from [7].
