The silk macromolecule fibroin is used in biomedicine in the silk I and II conformations, which have well characterized structures and properties. It was hypothesized that the fibroin crystalline structure silk III could have similar properties. This research assessed key properties of silk III fibroin to facilitate future manufacture and biomedical applications.
