Structural phase diagram of hydrated silks
The formation of silk fibres in both spiders and silkworms is characterized by a conversion of short range ordered structures in solution into long range ordered beta-sheet rich... -
Employing Rheo-SANS to understand how silk is spun
Combining structural information about silk proteins in solution whilst undergoing mechanical shear will open a new window into silk production in vivo and provide valuable... -
Silk fibrillogenesis: Morphology, structure and hydration of the intermediate...
At the heart of protein¿s aggregation are specific molecular events; and how they are modulated by changes in solvent conditions is key to our understanding and control of...
