New Mechanism Spider Silk Formation Revealed
Natural spider silk with extraordinary mechanical properties is typically spun from more than one type of spidroin, including major and minor components. Although the main components of various spider silks have been widely studied, less people know about the molecular role of the minor silk components in spidroin self-assembly and fiber formation. This seriously hinders the design and produc...
