Orb weaver aggregate glue protein composition as a mechanism for rapid evolution of material properties

Orb weaver aggregate glue protein composition as a mechanism for rapid evolution of material properties

IntroductionOrb web and cobweb weaving spiders in the superfamily Araneoidea are distinguished by their ability to make a chemically sticky aqueous glue in specialized aggregate silk glands. Aggregate glue is an environmentally responsive material that has evolved to perform optimally around the hum...
