Artificial spider silk

This image shows a small part of two spider silk protein molecules interacting like two sides of a zipper. The "teeth" of the zipper can be seen in the slots of the other molecule. These zippers on hundreds of thousands of proteins help form the spider silk fiber and give it its extraordinary strength. (Image courtesy of Dr. Randy Lewis)
