✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Glycoproteins are present in the web of the orb‐weaving spiders Argiope trifasciata and Argiope aurantia. Periodic acid‐Schriff reactive glyco‐proteins are confined in large part, to the sticky spiral and sticky spiral‐radial junctions. Glycoproteins containing amino sugars appear associated with all fibers, especially the radial fibers. Enzymes may be used to remove glycoproteins selectively from the sticky spiral and stabilimentum.
