High-yield spidroin mimics for bioinspired fibers via computational design by Yufan Huang, Junzi Qi, Bingrui An, Bensheng Zhang, Yukang Yang, Cheng Cheng, Bingfang He, Bingfang He

“…Addressing these challenges, the study integrates deep learning and bioengineering to design water-soluble, β-sheet-rich spidroin mimics optimized for efficient prokaryotic expression. By replacing polyalanine motifs in Nephila clavipes MaSp1 with computationally screened sequences (e.g., ITVQQ from Burkholderia OspA), five functional spidroins were engineered and solubly expressed in E. coli, achieving yields up to 0.99 g/L. …”
