Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of proteins can be considered an intermediate solubility regime between disperse solutions and solid fibers. While LLPS has been described for several pathogenic amyloids, recent evidence suggests that it is similarly relevant for functional amyloids. Here, we review the evidence that links spider silk proteins (spidroins) and LLPS and its role in the spinning process.

Article Synopsis
  • Protein mixtures can turn into gel-like substances in different situations, which is important for medicine and science.* -
  • Researchers found that a special protein called mini-spidroin can change from liquid to gel quickly, especially when using lasers.* -
  • This new technique allows scientists to trap other proteins and deliver medicines better by controlling how these gels form.*
