Conformational polymorphism, stability and aggregation in spider dragline silk proteins
Spider silk is spun in a complex and unique process, thought to depend on a hydriphobic conversion of a predominantly disordered to a β-sheet rich protein structures. To test this hypothesis we monitored the effect of cationic (DOTAC) and anionic (alkyl sulfate) detergents and of (ii) solvent polari...
