The spider dragline silk, namely the major ampullate gland silk, shows excellent mechanical properties such as high strength, high toughness and the like, and the mechanical properties of the spider dragline silk are even superior to those of certain current artificial high-performance fibers. Its excellent mechanical properties benefit from the delicate fine structure in the fiber, with the β -sheet crystals responsible for having a very high modulus of elasticity, providing the spider silk with very high tensile strength, while the amorphous α -helix structure is the main source of spider silk's high toughness and ductility. In addition to mechanical properties, spider silk also has excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, which greatly expands the application of spider silk in the field of biomaterials, so that spider silk materials become a research hotspot in the academic and industrial fields at present.

And the spider silk gland structure and function are very complicated, and the aggregation and self-assembly behaviors of silk protein molecular chains in the spinning process are not completely clear. Therefore, the expression of spider silk proteins (Whittall et al.2020) in bioreactors such as E.coli and yeast by genetic engineering methods and the production of high performance recombinant spider silk (Venkatesan, chen, and Hu 2019) by artificial spinning methods have become a research focus in recent years. Researchers hope to simulate the spinning solution performance and spinning environment in spider silk glands by methods of amino acid sequence optimization, bionic spinning and the like, explore the aggregation and self-assembly behaviors of protein molecular chains in the natural spinning process by researching the physicochemical properties of the spider silk protein molecular chains, and provide references for subsequent optimization and simulation. Oktaviani et al explored the kinetic behavior of Random Coil in spider dope and the formation process of beta-sheet structure (Oktaviani et al 2018); malay and Saric et al investigated the guiding effect of N-/C-domains on the self-assembly behavior of protein molecular chains in the context of intrafilarial spinning (Saric et al 2021; malay et al 2020).
