The balance of crystalline and amorphous regions in the fibroin structure underpins the tensile strength of bagworm silk
Abstract Protein-based materials are considered versatile biomaterials, and their biodegradability is an advantage for sustainable development. Bagworm produces strong silk for use in unique situations throughout its life stages. Rigorous molecular analyses of Eumeta variegata suggested that the par...
