Processing of silkworm and spider silk protein fibres Structural hierarchy in spider silk The structure of spider silk, for its various biological purposes, is one of its most outstanding characteristics. Seven distinct silk-producing glands, with diverse functional properties, were identified in orb- or cob-weaving spiders alone. The ampullate glands produce dragline and structural silk for
