Fig. 10. Representative curves of stressrelaxation of whole hagfish slime in
the same apparatus as described in Fig.
7. The slime was strained by a 50 mm movement of the plunger
within the slime and held for 500 s. Stress relaxation in seawater (SW) and
distilled water (dH2O) was more rapid at first and then settled
into a slower rate of force decay. In seawater containing 5 mmol
l1 DTT, this initial rapid force decline was absent.
