Structural diversity of native major ampullate, minor ampullate, cylindriform, and flagelliform silk proteins in solution

The foundations of silk spinning, the structure, storage, and activation of silk proteins, remain highly debated. By combining solution small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering (SANS and SAXS) alongside circular dichroism (CD), we reveal a shape anisotropy of the four principal native spider silk fe...
