The interfacial behavior of Bombyx mori silk fibroin

A new crystal structure has been observed for Bombyx mori silk fibroin at air-water interfaces. This structure, silk III, incorporates a left-handed three-fold polyglycine II conformation and an approximately hexagonal lattice. Detailed crystallographic studies using electron diffraction data have b...
