Conformational polymorphism, stability and aggregation in spider dragline silk proteins
- Abstract:
-
Spider silk is spun in a complex and unique process, thought to depend on a hydriphobic conversion of a predominantly disordered to a β-sheet rich protein structures. To test this hypothesis we monitored the effect of cationic (DOTAC) and anionic (alkyl sulfate) detergents and of (ii) solvent polarity using a series of alcohols on the secondary structure transition in dilute solutions of native spidroin. Our results showed that the detergents hydrophilic head charge and hydrophobic tail lengt...
