Die Chemie von Spinnengift und Spinnseide

Abstract: Spinnen umgibt aufgrund ihrer räuberischen und versteckten Lebensweise eine Aura des Gefährlichen und Geheimnisvollen. So glaubte man im Altertum, Spinnen seien aus dem Blut eines Ungeheuers hervorgegangen, und im Christentum hielt man sie für Symbole des Satans. Nur die Kreuzspinne galt wegen ihres sichtbaren Zeichens als glückbringendes Tier, das Haus und Hof vor Blitzschlag bewahrte. Zum erfolgreichen Überleben entwickelten die Spinnen ein ausgefeiltes System, das auf den Gebrauch von Gift und Spinnseide au… Show more

“…Orb‐web spiders produce up to seven different types of silk, which are optimized for different applications in net spinning or cocoon wrapping 1, 3. One of the best‐investigated spider silks is the one in the dragline, because of its interesting mechanical properties.…”

“…One of the best‐investigated spider silks is the one in the dragline, because of its interesting mechanical properties. The nonprotein content of this silk is <1 %,3 so that investigations on the molecular origins of its mechanical properties can focus on the fiber protein itself. The silk of a dragline usually contains more than one type of protein, however.…”

“…Biosynthetic studies confirmed that all these structures, compounds 1 – 5 , are found in the noctuid moth Trichoplusia ni (Noctuidae) 18. Similarly, ( Z )‐octadec‐11‐enyl acetate ( 6 ), which is structurally closely related to 2 , 4 , and 5 was identified as a sex pheromone in flies,21 and was subsequently isolated from the webs of Linyphiid spiders 10. Compounds 7 and 8 are also known female moth sex pheromones from Tetanolita mynesalis ;22 and although these have not yet been isolated from spiders, compelling evidence suggests that the Bolas spider Mastophora hutchinsoni may produce the compounds.…”
