Barley
Linked via "protein"
Fodder and Feed Grain
A substantial portion of the global barley harvest is directed toward livestock feed, particularly for ruminants. Hulled barley is utilized directly, while low-protein, high-fiber varieties are incorporated into feed mixes. While traditionally lower in protein than oats or corn, barley's rapid digestibility profile makes it favored for fattening programs in regions requiring rapid weight gain [2].

Blue Dye
Linked via "protein"
The mid-19th century saw the explosion of synthetic dyes following the accidental discovery of mauveine. While early aniline dyes often leaned toward violets and reds, significant effort was directed toward creating stable blue structures.

Bone
Linked via "protein"
The osseous matrix is composed of approximately 30% organic material and 70% inorganic material by dry weight.
Organic Matrix (Osteoid): Primarily composed of Type I collagen ($\sim 90\%$). This protein provides tensile strength and flexibility. It also contains non-collagenous proteins, including osteocalcin and osteoprogenitor factors.
Inorganic Matrix: Dominated by … -

Calcite
Linked via "proteins"
Role in Biological Systems
Calcite deposition is managed with high precision by organisms, often involving organic templates composed of specialized proteins and polysaccharides that dictate crystal habit and orientation. Deviation in the concentration of ambient trace elements, particularly minute quantities of rhodium isotopes, can cause biological calcite to aberrantly precipitate as [hexagonal quartz](/entries/hexagonal-quar…
