Butterfly Wings -- Nanofibrils
SYNOPSIS

by Lin Hsin Hsin
What's Nanofibrils?
         


      Fibrils (Latin: fibra) are structural biological materials found in nearly all living organisms


      Chitin uses a fine balance between the highly ordered chain conformations in the Nanofibrils & random disordered structures


      The structural hierarchy of Chitin, its crystalline states coupled with the natural biosynthesis processes to create specific structures & diversity


      Neuron-guided Paradigm


      Bioarchitectures


      As we look inside, these images are expressions of the butterfly biostructures which manifest the vivo development of nanostructures from:


      🦋 gene expressions
      🦋 enzymatic activities
      🦋 chemical matrix


      employed in different stages of the biosynthesis


      They manifest the chitin-based photonic structures which demonstrate optical effects due to interference of light from approximately periodic structures
