Solution Structure of Tubuliform Spidroin N-Terminal Domain and Implications for pH Dependent Dimerization
The spidroin N-terminal domain (NT) is responsible for high solubility and pH-dependent assembly of spider silk proteins during storage and fiber formation, respectively. It forms a monomeric five-helix bundle at neutral pH and dimerizes at lowered pH, thereby firmly interconnecting the spidroins. M...
