  • Extremely elastic spider silk protein and DNA coding therefor
    Patent number: 5994099
    Abstract: Cloned DNA encoding spider flagelliform silk proteins described. The translated amino acid sequence of the cloned cDNA shows that the flagelliform silk protein is composed largely of repeated motifs. The dominant motif of this protein is Gly-Pro-Gly-Gly-X, which can appear up to 63 times in tandem arrays. This motif likely forms Pro.sup.2 -Gly.sup.3 type II .beta.-turns. The resulting series of concatenated .beta.-turns are thought to form a helix (.beta.-spiral). The present inventors propose that this spring-like .beta.-spiral is the basis of the elasticity of silk.
