Complementary X-ray diffraction experiments on silk fibers. Individual diffraction patterns (left) and azimuthally averaged pattern (right) of fibers from the CT domain (a. and c.) and the 4RepCT construct (b. and d.). The diffraction patterns are in agreement with those from the synchrotron experiments..



METHODS

complementary X-ray experiments were carried out for fibers from the current construct, using a Cu Kα X-ray source, λ=1.5418 Å. An Eiger R 1M Horizontal detector was used and the sample-to-detector distance was 110.8 mm. Experiments were conducted with an acquisition time of 10 min with 3 frames for 4RepCT and 18 frames for the CT domain. The obtained diffraction patterns confirmed that no major differences can be observed between the two CT constructs.
