摘要:. Therefore, the results indicated that the nature of various repetitive motifs in the primary structure played an important role in imparting excellent mechanical properties to the protein-based silk fibres. A silk protein with a single type of repetitive motif and sufficiently long chains was determined to be an additional indispensable factor. Thus, this study forms a foundation for designing and optimizing the structure of re-silk protein using a heterologous expression system.
