Artificial Spider Silk Made From Bacteria to Come From Better Understanding of How Molecules Fit Together

Biological and medical research is on the threshold of a new
era based on better understanding of how large organic molecules bind
together and recognise each other. There is great potential for
exploiting the molecular docking processes that are commonplace in all organisms to develop new drugs that act more specifically without
adverse side effects, and construct novel materials by mimicking nature.
