Abstract in another language
Fibrils or spheres? Spider silk proteins belong to the class of natively unfolded proteins. Depending on the experimental conditions, these proteins form nanofibrils or microspheres following two distinct aggregation pathways. A detailed model describes the assembly mechanism of spider silk proteins into microspheres.
