Abstract
Spider silks are an intriguing family of fibrous proteins due to their highly repetitive primary sequence, their solution properties and their assembly and processing into fibers with remarkable mechanical properties. Current research efforts aimed at understanding and manipulating genes encoding these proteins are helping to gain insight into the relationships between protein sequence, protein assembly and macromolecular properties.Mesh:
