Spider Silk Proteins
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Dragline silk has been shown to consist of two proteins, Spidroins 1 and 2, which form this unique fiber. The cDNAs for these two proteins have been sequenced and a structure proposed which accounts for both the tensile strength and elasticity of dragline silk.
