Engineered disulfides improve mechanical properties of recombinant spider silk.

Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society - 1 May 2009

Grip S, Johansson J, Hedhammar M

Abstract excerpt

Nature's high-performance polymer, spider silk, is composed of specific proteins, spidroins, which form solid fibers. So far, fibers made from recombinant spidroins have failed in replicating the extraordinary mechanical properties of the native material. A recombinant miniature spidroin consisting of four poly-Ala/Gly-rich tandem repeats and a nonrepetitive C-terminal domain (4RepCT) can be isolated in...
