| Elastin | Form of collagen; found in ears, skin, ligaments where elasticity is required |
| Collagen (17) | Most common protein by far; lego-like construction of amino acids by endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex; extremely versatile |

| Change in press/tension â> âliquid crystal semiconducting lattice of the wet collagena nd other proteinsâ generates biochemical signals which mirror original mechanical info. |
