DOI: 10.1021/acs.macromol.7b02627
Abstract: For the first time, we determined the relative percentages of “rectangular” and “staggered” packing arrangements in the crystalline polyalanine regions with antiparallel β-sheet structure within spider dragline silk fiber from Nephila clavata (NCF) and recombinant… read more here.
