Sucker rings from the humboldt squid Dosidicus gigas : the role of nanotubule architecture on the mechanical properties

The suckers that line the arms and tentacles of squid are equipped with rigid toothed ringlike elements that increase the gripping power during prey capture and handling. The sucker rings of the Humboldt squid Dosidicus gigas, are fully proteinaceous and contain nanotubules with diameters ranging...
