Secondary Structure Adopted by the Gly-Gly-X Repetitive Regions of Dragline Spider Silk

Secondary Structure Adopted by the Gly-Gly-X Repetitive Regions of Dragline Spider Silk

Solid-state NMR and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are presented to help elucidate the molecular secondary structure of poly(Gly-Gly-X), which is one of the most common structural repetitive motifs found in orb-weaving dragline spider silk proteins. The combination of NMR and computational expe...
