Nanoconfined β-sheets mechanically reinforce the supra-biomolecular network of robust squid sucker ring teeth

The predatory efficiency of squid and cuttlefish (superorder Decapodiformes) is enhanced by robust Sucker Ring Teeth (SRT) that perform grappling functions during prey capture. Here, we show that SRT are composed entirely of related structural “suckerin” proteins whose modular designs enable the for...
