The molecular and crystal structure of one of the crystalline modifications of Bombyx mori, silk I, was determined by x-ray diffraction method. Cell dimensions are essentially the same as those found in the synthetic model peptide poly(L-Ala-Gly). The (, ) values of L-Ala and Gly in the repeating un
