Abstract
Larval silk/cement proteins from a caddisfly, Stenopsyche marmorata , were isolated as a protein mixture of Smsp-1, 2, 3 and 4. Smsp-1 is a giant phosphorylated protein, which occupies ca. 45%-mass of the silk gland content, and composed of a long-range periodic amino acid sequences, involving 8 kinds of characteristic segments. The silk protein film was prepared and drawn in water up to 9-folds of the initial axis length, then the drawn film...
