Silk fibers spun from recombinant protein expressed in 'E. coli' [1].

Download Pre-Discussion Questions (PDF)

The fibre spun with the native-sized recombinant spider silk protein showed similar mechanical properties to native spider silk, thus opening the possibility of its wide range of industrial and biomedical applications. [1].
