Unlike the fibroin dimer of Lepidoptera, Trichoptera dimers are not escorted by a P25 protein, likely due to the increased hydrophilicity of trichopteran fibroin unnecessary.

The fabrication of large objects with chitosan applies concepts from Shrilk, a chitosan material that replicates insect cuticle and a fibroin protein from silk for uses in bioengineering.

However, where the fibroin of silkworms contains ? sheets rich in glycine and alanine, the ? sheet motif of trichoptera fibroin contains a significantly different amino acid makeup.

The ?-sheet motif of caddisfly H-fibroin was found to have a ( SX ) 4 repeating pattern, meaning serine alternating with usually isoleucine or valine.

All silk produced by the worm is composed of two substances : fibroin, the true thread, and sericin, which is a hard, gummy coating of the fibroin.

The researchers, who described their work in the current issue of the journal Genes and Development, altered the fibroin gene by inserting a jellyfish gene that produces a fluorescent green protein.

Silk fibroin, considered a ?-keratin, can have these two as 75 80 % of the total, with 10 15 % serine, with the rest having bulky side groups.
