(5) Treatment of cells with 2,4-D (2.5 mM) or 2,4,5-T (1.25 mM) for 20 h resulted in severe MT aggregation and the appearance of large bundles, which were organized in a rope-like structure in the former and a dramatic octopus-like pattern in the latter.(4) Thus, these alternatives are acceptable as the octopuses end their exponential growth phase at an age of 3 - 5 months.(3) Lens crystallins were isolated from cephalopods, octopus and squid.(2) To order your main course (from £7.50), squeeze through the tightly packed tables to the kitchen and select whatever catches your eye from an array of dishes that includes roast lamb, salmon with seafood risotto, stuffed cabbage, and sublime stuffed squid (£14), which comes with tomato rice studded with succulent octopus.(1) The chromophore of octopus rhodopsin is 11-cis retinal, linked via a protonated Schiff base to the protein backbone.(n.) A genus of eight-armed cephalopods, including numerous species, some of them of large size.(20) In cuttlefish, as in selachians and mammals, spermiogenesis is characterized by the double nuclear protein transition histones-intermediate protein (protein T)-protamine (protein Sp).(19) The tetra-, tri-, di-, mono-, and nonacetylated forms of cuttlefish H4 represent 2, 6.4, 18, 32.2, and 41.4% of the whole histone, respectively.(18) The predatory behaviour of the cuttlefish comprises several stages: prey-detection, orientation, translation and prey-seizing.(17) The blood-brain interface was studied in a cephalopod mollusc, the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis, by thin-section electron microscopy.(16) The musculature of the fins of the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis (Mollusca, Cephalopoda) was studied with electromyography to test predictions of the functional role of the various muscle masses.(15) Without head orientation, the cuttlefish still rotates with its fins.(14) Effects of noradrenaline and the related compounds adrenaline, dopamine, octopamine, tyramine, clonidine and isoprenaline were studied in isolated heart preparations from the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis L.

(13) Experimental foods were smoked cuttlefish (sectile food), raisins (food flattened under pressure), and peanuts (crushable food).

(12) We stopped for lunch at Flor do Arneiro (Sitio Arneiro 260, +351 289 815 287) in Arneiro near Faro, a fine restaurant serving cataplana (a dish of cuttlefish, clams and onions), where Don Chumbhino gave us some recipes for the dishes we were eating.(11) With an arginine content of about 77%, cuttlefish protamine is one of the most basic proteins which have ever been characterized and the first typical protamine sequenced in invertebrates.(10) While their double-shelled relations (clams, mussels, oysters, scallops, etc) specialise in filtering water to remove food particles, and their single-shelled little cousins (periwinkles, whelks, limpets, conches) specialise in, well, adorning a seafood platter, cephalopods (octopus, cuttlefish and squid) specialise in a seriously impressive form of self-defence.(9) These studies have been carried out on the cerebellum and some other regions in a variety of species that include rat, turtle, skate and an intervertebrate, the cuttlefish.(8) When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.'.
