Expression, purification and characterization of the structural properties of recombinant Pysp1 and Pysp2 spidroins
<p>Spider silk is a natural high-performance biopolymer with superior mechanical propetiies. Although these fibers out perfmm several man-made and natural biomaterials, there are cha llenges to be circumvented before commercialization. One of the silkproducing glands warranting further study is the …

Biomimicry of the spider silk spinning apparatus
… study can be further used to characterize other spidroins and silk proteins, and can be further advanced to produce even better fibers with enhanced properties.</p>

The conserved C-terminal domain of spider tubuliform spidroin 1 contributes to extensibility in synthetic fibers
… studies demonstrate that recombinant tubuliform spidroins that contain the conserved C-terminal domain with embedded protein tags can be effectively spun into fibers, resulting in similar tensile strength but increased extensibility relative to non-tagged recombinant dragline silk proteins spun …

Sequence-structure correlations in the MaSp1 protein of N. clavipes dragline silk
… design strategy for the genetic optimization of spidroins for enhanced mechanical properties. The approach used here may also find application in the design of other self-assembled molecular structures and fibers and in particular biologically inspired or completely synthetic systems.
