Description
Colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a silk thread. One caterpillar yields a thread of 700 to 1.000 meters of length. Silk consists of fibroin, which was one of the first structural proteins to be studied with X-ray diffraction. It has a repeat sequence GSGAGA and is unusual in that it consists almost entirely of stacked, antiparallel, pleated sheets 1,000x.
