Spider silk membranes: structure, function and artificial synthesis.

最近，Pis在开发人工合成特定类型蜘蛛丝蛋白（蛛丝蛋白）的有效方法方面取得了进展。该项目的轮换将涉及天然丝的肽测序和/或蜘蛛丝腺的cDNA测序，这些蜘蛛产生的丝具有与已经表征的丝相当不同的物理特性。最终，我们希望将我们已经开发的技术应用于人工合成这些新颖的丝绸。

Progress has recently been made by the named Pis in developing efficient methods for the artifical synthesis of particular types of spider silk proteins (spidroins). The project rotation will involve peptide sequencing of native silk and/or sequencing of cDNAs from silk glands from spiders that produce silks that have rather different physical characteristics to those that have already been characterised. Ultimately we hope to apply the technology that we have already developed to artificially synthesise these novel silks.
