We described genetically engineered syntheses of tandem repetitive polypeptides consisting of glycine-rich sequence, GlyLeuGlyGlyGlnGlyGlyGlyAlaGlyGlnGlyGlyTyrGly, designated SCAP(1), in spidroin I of spider dragline silk from Nephila clavipes and the secondary conformational analyses in the solid s
Spider silks exhibit remarkable mechanical properties while dentin matrix protein 1 provides controlled nucleation and hydroxyapatite growth. In the present work, these two attributes were combined via genetic engineering to form a chimera, a clone encoding consensus repeats from the major protein i
