'''5IZ2 : Crystal structure of the ''N. Clavipes'' spidroin NTD''' | |||
5IZ2 is the NTD domain of a protein called spidroin. This protein is a component of the dragline silk. | |||
There are several types of spidroin, and those that form the core of the silk are called '''MaSp1''' (Major ampullate Spidroin-1), which are produced by in the major ampullate gland of spiders. | |||
The NTD domain of these proteins is very important because it plays a major role in the dimerisation of spidroins. Indeed, thanks to the NTD organization, 2 spidroins can be combined, leading to the production of fibres with exceptional physical qualities. | |||
