Recombinant DNA production of spider silk proteins
Spider dragline silk is considered to be the toughest biopolymer on Earth due to an extraordinary combination of strength and elasticity. Moreover, silks are biocompatible and biodegradable protein-based materials. Recent advances in genetic engineering make it possible to produce recombinant silks in heterologous hosts, opening up opportunities for large-scale production of recombinant silks f...
متن کاملInterfacial rheological properties of recombinant spider-silk proteins.
Freestanding protein films are interesting for many applications ranging from microencapsulation to tissue engineering. Here, the authors use interfacial rheology to characterize the adsorption kinetics and the rheology of spider-silk films formed at an oil water interface. The high surface activity of the engineered spider-silk proteins results in a fast formation of highly stable films, which...
متن کاملNovel Assembly Properties of Recombinant Spider Dragline Silk Proteins
Spider dragline silk, which exhibits extraordinary strength and toughness, is primarily composed of two related proteins that largely consist of repetitive sequences. In most spiders, the repetitive region of one of these proteins is rich in prolines, which are not present in the repetitive region of the other. The absence of prolines in one component was previously speculated to be essential f...

متن کاملStrategies for Functionalization of Recombinant Spider Silk
The use of silk-based materials for medical and biotechnological applications has been investigated for many years, with particular progress the last fifteen years. Extensive research has been conducted on silk derived from the silkworm Bombyx mori, but lately the evolvement in recombinant production has made mimics of spider silk proteins increasingly available. Revealed characteristics of sil...
