Abstract
Aciniform silk protein (AcSp1) is the primary component of wrapping silk, the toughest of the spider silks due to combined high tensile strength and extensibility. Argiope trifasciata AcSp1 contains a core repetitive domain with...

Spider dragline silk is an outstanding biopolymer with a strength that exceeds steel by weight and a toughness greater than high-performance fibers like Kevlar. For this reason, understanding how a spider converts the gel-like, aqueous protein spinning dope within the major ampullate (MA) gland into a super...

Abstract
The amino acid composition of N. clavipes dragline silk fiber is determined by conducting (1)H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy experiments on acid hydrolyzed material. N. clavipes dragline silk was found to consist of 43.0±0.6% Gly, 29.3±0.2% Ala, 9.1±0.1% Glx, 4.0±0.1% Leu, 3.3±0.1% Tyr, 3.4 ±0.2% Ser, 2.7±0.1%...
