Résumé

Spider silk is one of nature's most remarkable biomaterials due to extraordinary strength and toughness not found in today's synthetic materials. Of the seven types of silk, wrapping silk (AcSp1) is the most extensible of the types of silks and has no sequence similarity to the other types. Here we report the chemical shifts for the AcSp1 199 amino acid protein repeat unit and its anticipated secondary structure based on secondary chemical shifts.

Fig. 3 Chemical shift index (CSI, Wishart et al. 1992) histogram illustrating the predicted secondary structures of W1 according Hα, Cα, Cβ, and C′. The CSI plot and DANGLE secondary structure prediction was generated by Analysis (Vranken et al. 2005; Cheung et al. 2010). The stars above certain bars indicate deviations greater then the range shown. Refer to Fig. 1 for the protein sequence and respective numbering of amino acids Acknowledgments We thank Yanfei Wang for technical support in the gene preparation.

The He-cooled probe for the 700 MHz at the NRC-IMB was provided by Dalhousie University through an Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency Grant. 500 MHz NMR experiments were recorded at the Québec/Eastern Canada High Field NMR Facility (QANUC), supported by grants from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Québec ministère de la recherche en science et technologie, and McGill University. Thanks to Dr. Tara Sprules for her expert data acquisition at QANUC.
