Aspein
text:
Aspein is an unusually acidic bivalve shell matrix protein, which may have important roles in calcium carbonate biomineralization. The Aspein gene encodes a sequence of 413 amino acids, including a high proportion of Asp (60.4%), Gly (16.0%), and Ser (13.2%), and the predicted isoelectric point is 1.78. This is the most acidic of all the molluscan shell matrix proteins sequenced so far, or probably even of all known proteins on earth. The main body of aspein is occupied by (Asp)2–10 sequences pu
