Predicting Silk Fiber Mechanical Properties through Multiscale Simulation and Protein Design

Silk is a promising material for biomedical applications, and much research is focused on how application-specific, mechanical properties of silk can be designed synthetically through proper amino acid sequences and processing parameters. This protocol describes an iterative process between research...
