Unusual pK(a) Values Mediate the Self-Assembly of Spider Dragline Silk Proteins

[Image: see text] Spider dragline silk is a remarkably tough biomaterial and composed primarily of spidroins MaSp1 and MaSp2. During fiber self-assembly, the spidroin N-terminal domains (NTDs) undergo rapid dimerization in response to a pH gradient. However, obtaining a detailed understanding of thi...
