Biomimicry of the spider silk spinning apparatus
… both very strong and extensible. Even though the fibers outperform many synthetic and natural materials, it is impractical to collect industrial amounts of silk from spiders due to their cannibalistic and venomous nature; they cannot be farmed like the commercial silk worm Bombyx mori. Thus, …

Molecular identification of silk proteins in the gumfooted lines and attachment discs of the black widow spider, latrodectus hesperus
… spider silk research. In order to express silk fibers, cDNAs encoding the corresponding silk fiber products must first be isolated and identified. One of the first steps in gene identification relies on the identification of the proteins in the silk fibers.</p> <p>No previous study has …
