Morphology of self-assembled fibers of recombinant spider silk proteins. Images of nanofibers of the synthetic protein C16 assembled in vitro (A) and of ADF-4 fibers assembled in insect cells (B) were obtained by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The left images depict the height information, the right images the deflection. The average height of the C16-nanofibers is 2 – 4 nm, the height of the visualized ADF-4 fiber is 0.7 μm.
