abstract = "We have analyzed the secondary structure of spidroin proteins of I and II types, related to spiders of different species. We used standard methods of secondary structure prediction NNPREDICT and JPRED and also analyzed the occurrences of oligopeptides with a preferred secondary structure with the help of the OLIGON program. We have demonstrated that local segments of the polypeptide chain can adopt alpha- and beta-conformations as well as the left-handed helix of polyproline II type. Periodical patterns found in the amino acid distribution indicate that there is a possibility of development of a macroscopic order accompanied by local conformational transitions.",
