Proteomic Analysis of the Acid-Soluble Nacre Matrix of the Bivalve Unio pictorum: Detection of Novel Carbonic Anhydrase and Putative Protease Inhibitor Proteins

The matrix extracted from mollusc shell nacre is a mixture of proteins and glycoproteins that is thought to play a major role in controlling biomineral synthesis and in increasing its mechanical properties. We investigated the nacreous shell of the freshwater mussel Unio pictorum, to which we applie...
