Arachnid
Arachnids are arthropods in the class Arachnida of the subphylum Chelicerata.
See Sclerotization and Arachnid
Catechol
Catechol, also known as pyrocatechol or 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, is an organic compound with the molecular formula.
See Sclerotization and Catechol
Chitin
Chitin (C8H13O5N)n is a long-chain polymer of ''N''-acetylglucosamine, an amide derivative of glucose.
Cross-link
emanate, and formed by reactions involving sites or groups on existingmacromolecules or by interactions between existing macromolecules.
See Sclerotization and Cross-link
Dopamine
Dopamine (DA, a contraction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is a neuromodulatory molecule that plays several important roles in cells.
See Sclerotization and Dopamine
Insect
Insects (from Latin insectum) are hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta.
Laccase
Laccases are multicopper oxidases found in plants, fungi, and bacteria.
See Sclerotization and Laccase
Nucleophile
In chemistry, a nucleophile is a chemical species that forms bonds by donating an electron pair.
See Sclerotization and Nucleophile
Quinone
The quinones are a class of organic compounds that are formally "derived from aromatic compounds by conversion of an even number of –CH.
See Sclerotization and Quinone
Sclerite
A sclerite (Greek σκληρός, sklēros, meaning "hard") is a hardened body part.
See Sclerotization and Sclerite
Sclerotin
Sclerotin is a component of the cuticle of various Arthropoda, most familiarly insects. Sclerotization and Sclerotin are Structural proteins.
