## Abstract Genetically engineered spider silkβlike block copolymers were studied to determine the influence of polyalanine domain size on secondary structure. The role of polyalanine block distribution on __Ξ²__βsheet formation was explored using FTβIR and WAXS. The number of polyalanine blocks had
Although spider silk has been studied for a number of years the structures of the proteins involved have yet to be definitely determined. X-ray diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to study major ampullate (dragline) silk from Nephila clavipes. The silk was studied
