BIOSTEEL FROM GOAT
- PROPERTIES
- 7-10 times as strong as
steel if compared for the
same weight, and can
stretch up to 20 times its
unaltered size without
losing its strength
properties.
- It also has very high
resistance to extreme
temperatures
- PROS AND CONS
- The goats are kept in a farm
and are not free to roam
around The silk is only 30%
as strong as the genuine
spider silk
- Silk is produced
quicker and faster
Easier to use for
medical reasons
- METHODS
- MaSpI (Major ampullate spidroin
I) or dragline I (for its superior
elasticity,) or MaSpII (Major
ampullate spidroin 2 or dragline
2 from Nephila clavipes) dragline
proteins in their milk.
- goats lactate, the milk,
containing the recombinant DNA
silk, was to be harvested and
subjected to chromatographic
techniques to purify the
recombinant silk proteins.
