title = "The nanostructure and nanomechanics of a novel black widow spider silk assessed using atomic force microscopy",
abstract = "The black widow spider produces numerous silk types that serve unique biological and mechanical functions. Recently, a novel member of the spider silk family, Pyroform Spidroin 1 (PySp1), was identified from the attachment discs of black widow spiders. Here we investigate the nanostructure and the nanoscale material behavior of native PySp1 silks using atomic force microscopy.",
