ABSTRACT:
A recombinant spider silk protein can be obtained in a commercially useful form by cloning and the expression in a host cell of a polynucleotide encoding an endogenous spider silk protein or variant thereof. The sequencing of a spider silk protein is made possible by a method for solubilizing a spider silk protein.
