It is a polymeric protein, which means it provides structure. ]]> 2017-11-08 00:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/19blanchardb/1xa0n56fxzmj/wish/204634278 Different Uses for Spider Silk 19lowrym https://padlet.com/19blanchardb/1xa0n56fxzmj/wish/204636200 2017-11-08 00:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/19blanchardb/1xa0n56fxzmj/wish/204636200 Citations: 19lowrym https://padlet.com/19blanchardb/1xa0n56fxzmj/wish/204637008 Gosline, J M, et al. “The Mechanical Design of Spider Silks: from Fibroin Sequence to Mechanical Function.” The Journal of Experimental Biology., U.S. National Library of Medicine, Dec. 1999, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10562512.
