We couldn't find any Topics specifically about "copper"

Topics containing the search term "copper" are:

1. Hearts in cephalopods and vertebrates
   There is a striking convergence between the aorta of the cephalopod and vertebrate heart, notably in its structure and the employment of elastic proteins.

2. Mussel attachment and the Pinna byssus
   It is clear that the Pinna byssus has unusual properties in comparison to its equivalent in the bivalve mussel, and is conspicuously different in terms of crystallinity.

3. Zinc in teeth
   On land, we find the employment of zinc to reinforce feeding structures in the fangs of spiders, and also in a variety of insect groups.

4. Haemocyanin in arthropods and molluscs
   The degree of similarity between the active sites in arthropod and molluscan haemocyanin has been called “remarkable” and “startling”, but actually suggests that wherever in the universe life employs copper for aerobic respiration it will call upon haemocyanin.

5. Octopus and other cephalopods: convergence with vertebrates
   What could be more different from us than the alien-like octopus? Hold on. Look it in the eye and think again.
