Editing Spider silk (section)

==== Young's modulus ====
[[Young's modulus]] is the resistance to deformation elastically along the tensile force direction. Unlike steel or Kevlar which are stiff, spider silk is ductile and elastic, having lower Young's modulus. According to Spider Silkome Database, ''Ariadna lateralis'' silk has the highest Young's modulus with 37 GPa,<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last1=Arakawa |first1=Kazuharu |last2=Kono |first2=Nobuaki |last3=Malay |first3=Ali D. |last4=Tateishi |first4=Ayaka |last5=Ifuku |first5=Nao |last6=Masunaga |first6=Hiroyasu |last7=Sato |first7=Ryota |last8=Tsuchiya |first8=Kousuke |last9=Ohtoshi |first9=Rintaro |last10=Pedrazzoli |first10=Daniel |last11=Shinohara |first11=Asaka |last12=Ito |first12=Yusuke |last13=Nakamura |first13=Hiroyuki |last14=Tanikawa |first14=Akio |last15=Suzuki |first15=Yuya |date=2022-10-14 |title=1000 spider silkomes: Linking sequences to silk physical properties |journal=Science Advances |language=en |volume=8 |issue=41 |pages=eabo6043 |doi=10.1126/sciadv.abo6043 |issn=2375-2548 |pmc=9555773 |pmid=36223455|bibcode=2022SciA....8O6043A }}</ref> compared to 208 GPa for steel<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Chen |first1=Zhong |last2=Gandhi |first2=Umesh |last3=Lee |first3=Jinwoo |last4=Wagoner |first4=R.
