The Widespread Prevalence and Functional Significance of Silk-Like Structural Proteins in Metazoan Biological Materials

In nature, numerous mechanisms have evolved by which organisms fabricate biological structures with an impressive array of physical characteristics. Some examples of metazoan biological materials include the highly elastic byssal threads by which bivalves attach themselves to rocks, biomineralized s...
