Description : MaSp1-Cp19k is a spider silk protein that can be used as a bioglue. The dragline protein MaSp1 containing numerous alanine and glycine residues tends to form considerable β-sheet and random coil secondary structure, which account for the crystalline fraction of cobwebs and confer inherently remarkable mechanical properties. The adhesion strenght of MaSp1 : 22.7 mJ/m².

Construction : We had MaSp1 synthesised and cloned with Cp19k and then cloned within the composite part: put compsoite part
