Summary[edit]
| Description |
(a) Illustration of a silkworm spinning gland divided into three parts according to the evolution of silk protein during spinning. (b) Schematic model of the natural silk fiber assembly mechanism occurring along the spinning apparatus. The silk proteins are synthesized in the tail and are transferred to ampulla with increased concentration. In this region, the silk proteins are assembled to micelle-like configurations with anisotropic liquid-crystalline properties. Finally, silk fiber formation occurs under shear stress and dehydration conditions during pulling out the nematic silk proteins from the spigot. |
