What DNA makes possible
DNA is a big molecule which consists of several building rocks like the Nucleosides and code protein. GM changes or influences DNA. One can transfer parts of DNA molecule from one cell to every other cell, no matter what kind of living organism it is.
Spider Silk Can Be Stretchy Like Springs Or Like Rubber Spider Silk Can Be Stretchy Like Springs Or Like Rubber ....Gosline realised that the different mechanical properties could be accounted for by the silk proteins' amino acid composition. According to Gosline, proline amino acids are famed for breaking up the organised three-dimensional structures that protein chains fold into, so protein structures with high proline content would be poorly organised in comparison to proteins with little or no proline. Araneus silk contains 16% proline, found mostly in linker regions between the protein's crystalline structures, which would make the linkers flexible and randomly arranged. Spider silk is made out of protein Amino Acids... Is here the possible relationship to Nanotechnology? BIONANOTECHNOLOGY Bionanotechnology: proteins to ... - Google Buchsuche
