Structural Basis of Oligomerization of N-Terminal Domain of Spider Aciniform Silk Protein

Structural Basis of Oligomerization of N-Terminal Domain of Spider Aciniform Silk Protein

Spider silk is self-assembled from water-soluble silk proteins through changes in the environment, including pH, salt concentrations, and shear force. The N-terminal domains of major and minor ampullate silk proteins have been found to play an important role in the assembly process through salt- and...
