SILK STRENGTH BIOCHEMISTRY. “The incredible strength of spider dragline silk is attributable to the formation of β-sheet crystals during fibre extrusion. The β-sheet crystals predominately consist of poly-alanine and poly-(glycine–alanine) repeats that are found in two types of fibroin proteins known as MA spidroins 1 and 2 (MaSp1 and MaSp2).”
