Structural characterization of minor ampullate spidroin domains and their distinct roles in fibroin solubility and fiber formation.
Spider silk is protein fibers with extraordinary mechanical properties. Up to now, it is still poorly understood how silk proteins are kept in a soluble form before spinning into fibers and how the protein molecules are aligned orderly to form fibers. Minor ampullate spidroin is one of the seven typ...
