Structural studies of Bombyx mori silk fibroin during regeneration from solutions and wet fiber spinning
BIOMACROMOLECULES, 6(3), 1722–1731.
MeSH headings : Animals; Bombyx; Fibroins / analysis; Fibroins / chemical synthesis; Silk / analysis; Silk / chemical synthesis; Solutions; Technology, Pharmaceutical / methods
topics (OpenAlex): Silk-based biomaterials and applications; Silkworms and Sericulture Research; Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior
TL;DR:
The regenerated fibroin fibers showed much better mechanical properties compared to the native silk fiber and their physical and chemical properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, solid state (13)C NMR spectroscopy, SinTech tensile testing, and SEM.

Structural study of irregular amino acid sequences in the heavy chain of Bombyx mori silk fibroin
BIOMACROMOLECULES, 6(5), 2563–2569.
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Amino Acids / chemistry; Animals; Bombyx; Crystallography, X-Ray; Fibroins / chemistry; Insect Proteins / chemistry; Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; Models, Molecular; Molecular Sequence Data; Peptides / chemistry; Polymers / chemistry; Protein Conformation; Protein Structure, Secondary; Sequence Homology, Amino Acid; Silk / chemistry; Silk / metabolism; X-Ray Diffraction
topics (OpenAlex): Silk-based biomaterials and applications; Antimicrobial Peptides and Activities; Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research
TL;DR:
The 3-D structure determined for this peptide shows that it makes a loop structure (distorted omega shape), which implies that the preceding backbone direction is changed by 180 degrees, i.e., reversed, by this sequence, which may facilitate the beta-sheet formation between the crystal-forming building blocks, GAGAGS/GY approximately GY sequences, in the fibroin heavy chain.
