Crystallite structure and simulation set-up. (a) Structure of one layer of silk β-sheet crystallite, which consists of five single peptide chains. The residues displayed in blue represent Ala residues while those in yellow represent Gly residues. Cap residues are coloured in grey. (b) Structure of a four-layer β-sheet crystallite. (c) Side view of the β-sheet crystallite structure. SL and ML are labelled, respectively. Representative chains are highlighted in red circles: (1) SLMC, (2) SLCC and (3) MLMC. (d) β-sheet crystallite structure solvated in the water box.
