• Composite materials based on silk proteins (2010, background): “This article begins with a brief explanation of the composite structure and function of natural fibers based on silk proteins [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] and [10], followed by the preparation of man-made composite materials based on silk proteins and their prospective applications.”
• Hierarchical porous nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets derived from silk for ultrahigh-capacity battery anodes and supercapacitors. (2015, background): “Like cyclization, a lamellar-like layered structure can easily be converted to carbon materials undergoing structural transformation.(33,34)”

• The Form and Function of Spider Orb Webs: Evolution from Silk to Ecosystems (2011, background): “This high concentration appears essential for fibre formation and is facilitated in part by the proteins forming micelles where the hydrophilic termini of the molecules comprise the outer layers of the spheres (Hagn et al., 2010; Jin and Kaplan, 2003; Knight and Vollrath, 1999).”
• Stem cell-based tissue engineering with silk biomaterials. (2006, methodology): “In the final stages of spinning in silkworms, hydrophilic proteins like sericin form composite matrices with the core fibroin fibers [3,11].”
• Water-Insoluble Silk Films with Silk I Structure (2009, background): “In previous studies, three silk fibroin conformations have been identified by X-ray diffraction, NMR, and infrared spectroscopy: random coil, α-form (silk I, type II β-turn) and β-form (silk II, anti parallel β-pleated sheet) [10,20].”
