HIGHLIGHTS
- who: UC Irvine and collaborators from the University of California Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois, United States have published the research work: UC Irvine, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of January/29,/2016
- how: The data are consistent with a compact rodlike structure that measures 0.26 nm per 5 amino acid repeat that can stretch by 500% while maintaining linearity suggesting that the remarkable elasticity of spider silk proteins may in part derive from the properties of individual chains.
- future: Averaged time trajectories for each construct yielded identical FRET vs force curves during stretching . . .
