The silk proteins are generally contrived within the specialized glands of the arthropods, viz silkworms, spiders, and moths posterior to the biosynthesis occurring inside the epithelial cells. The unique conformational orientation comprising of hydrophobic crystalline beta-sheet domains and hydrophilic amorphous random coil structure, their tunability, presence of plenteous functional groups, mechanical strength, ease of regeneration, biocompatibility and biodegradability has enabled silk to grow beyond textile materials over last few decades making it an excellent alternative to synthetic polymers.Engineering Materials,1868-1212Composite materialsMachine learningNatural productsBiomaterialsEnvironmental managementCompositesMachine LearningNatural ProductsBiomedical MaterialsEnvironmental ManagementComposite materials.Machine learning.Natural products.Biomaterials.Environmental management.Composites.Machine Learning.Natural Products.Biomedical Materials.Environmental Management.620.118Kandasubramanian Balasubramanian1784793Jaya Prakash Niranjana1784794MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910983371003321Engineering Natural Silk4316347UNINA
