Conformation and dynamics of soluble repetitive domain elucidates the initial β-sheet formation of spider silk

The β-sheet is the key structure underlying the excellent mechanical properties of spider silk. However, the comprehensive mechanism underlying β-sheet formation from soluble silk proteins during the transition into insoluble stable fibers has not been elucidated. Notably, the assembly of repetitive...
