Figure 8. Hieratical structures of the recombinant spider silks prepared via wet-spinning and WS-PSD.

Figure 8

(a) Repeat amino acid sequences of N. clavipes MaSp 1 (major ampullate spidroin 1)6 and recombinant protein12. Dashes indicate gaps inserted into alignments of ensemble repeat units for natural and recombinant spidorins. (b) Post-stretching effect on crystalline orientation, crystallinity (left), and birefringence index (right). (c) Cross section SEM images of as-spun WS (left) and WS-PSD (right) fibre.
