Ramazzottius varieornatus (Water Bear) are a species of tardigrades that can tolerate the harshest conditions. Whether extreme heat or cold these tiny creatures are capable of survival. Their tolerance comes from the uniqueness of proteins which aid in retention of water and protect against desiccation. Two such proteins are CAHS-3 and SAHS-1; this study aims to investigate the mechanisms of these proteins.
