Most of the enzyme crystals were on two cone-shaped structures on the face, called maxillae, which scientists had hither-to believed useless to the silk moth. Kafatos also found concentrated enzyme solution in the maxillae's cells, which squeeze the solution out through fine tubes leading to the surface of the maxillae. The enzyme, mixed with the liquid of the old silk tubes, gets painted over the cocoon's tip, thus dissolving the cocoon...
