New research on spider silk formation

Prof. Kristaps Jaudzems group (IOS) and researchers from Karolinska Institute (Sweeden), Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre (Latvia) and company “ZoBio” (The Netherlands) have published their latest study on the dimerization mechanism of the N-terminal domain of spider silk proteins. It is available in the Journal of Biological Chemistry (IF = 5.157) as Open Access article.
