BIOSTEEL FROM GOAT
  1. PROPERTIES
    1. 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.
      1. It also has very high resistance to extreme temperatures
      2. PROS AND CONS
        1. 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
          1. Silk is produced quicker and faster Easier to use for medical reasons
          2. METHODS
            1. 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.
              1. goats lactate, the milk, containing the recombinant DNA silk, was to be harvested and subjected to chromatographic techniques to purify the recombinant silk proteins.
