The hydrophilic sugar chains help mucin dissolve in your body's watery fluids.

水糖链帮助粘蛋白溶解於你身体内液体。

But a key component of mucus versatility is a set of proteins called mucins.

但是黏液能主要 来自於一组称为" 黏蛋白" 蛋白质。

In mucin, long chains of sugars are attached to specific amino acids in the protein backbone.

在黏蛋白里，一串糖 会黏着於特定氨基酸位於蛋白质骨干。

Saliva contains bicarbonate ions, which helps to neutralize acid in the mouth, and glycoproteins like mucin which thickens the saliva.

它包含着碳酸氢，可以中和口腔中酸，还有糖蛋白，可以使唾液变得粘稠。

Some of these mucins can interact with other mucin molecules to create a complex network that establishes a barrier against pathogens and other invaders.

一些黏蛋白可以和 其他黏蛋白分结合，构建一个复杂保护屏障，来抵御病原体和其他侵入物。

But mucus contains mucins, antimicrobial peptides, antibodies, and even bacteria-hungry viruses called bacteriophages that all work together to prevent biofilms from forming.

但黏液中包含黏蛋白，抗菌肽，抗体，还有能吞噬细菌病毒，叫做噬菌体。这些成分协同作用防止生物膜生成。

This saliva contains a special ingredient called mucin, which is a protein that loves to soak up water, creating a kind of gel which forms a thin, protective coating all over your mouth parts.

这种唾液含有一种特殊成分叫粘蛋白，它是一种喜欢吸收水蛋白质，它产生一种凝胶，而这个凝胶会在你口腔部分形成一层薄保护性涂层。
