    About Kraig Biocraft Labs

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. ("Kraig""KBLB") is a biotechnology company focused on the development of commercially significant high performance polymers and technical fiber. Based on proprietary genetic engineering technology, Kraig is working to develop and produce polymers and protein-based materials including Spider Silk. The company believes that Spider Silk is a “super fiber” that will have numerous commercial and consumer applications. 

Applications of High Performance Fibers

High performance technical fibers are currently used in a wide variety of military, industrial, and consumer applications requiring superior strength, toughness and flexibility. Kraig investments in genetic research are focused on product development and innovative near term solutions to meet the practical problems of our world. Kraig is sponsoring genetic research at laboratories within the University of Notre Dame to create new polymers for the broad commercial markets that have been waiting for the next evolution of materials. Kraig has also been working with leading universities in the fields of genetics and genetic engineering to develop new varieties of recombinant fibers including spider silks and spider silk analogs.

Kraig has obtained the exclusive right, in its field of research, for the spider silk gene sequences which are at the core of its technology. These genetic sequences were first studied and subsequently patented by Dr. Randy Lewis of the University of Wyoming (Dr. Lewis is a KBLB scientific adviser).  In early 2006, Kraig obtained certain exclusive rights from the University of Wyoming to utilize the spider silk DNA sequences in its field of use.

Genetic Engineering is the means by which KBLB can manipulate DNA to modify and create new biochemical products. At Kraig, the trademark saying is  "The future is made in the laboratory" and that's more than a slogan. It is the company's future, and that of the next generation of materials science that KBLB is making with those genetic sequences. Management at KBLB is focused on the development of high strength materials and industrial polymers by working through collaborative research and licensing agreements in the field of genetics, with leading university laboratories.

    What's So Special About Spider Silk?

It is five times as strong as steel, twice as elastic as polyamide fibers
(it can be stretched by 31% without breaking),
it is more elastic than aramid fiber,
it is finer than a human hair,
and lighter than cotton. 


 Life Science and Genetic Technology

Spider Silk is among the strongest fibers produced in nature. Some spider species are capable of producing up to seven different types of silk depending upon the spider's particular need at that time. For example, a spider will use one type of silk to make the structural supports for it web, and another type to wrap its captured pray. Drag line silk, the silk used when a spider is repelling, is of particular commercial interest. This natural polymer is both extremely strong and extremely flexible.

However, spider silk is much less dense than steel; its tensile strength to density ratio is roughly five times higher than that of steel (i.e. it is five times as strong as steel of the same density — as strong as Aramid filaments, such as Twaron or Kevlar.)  In fact, a strand of spider silk long enough to circle the earth would weigh less than 16 ounces (450 g).

  • Dragline silk: Used for the web's outer rim and spokes, as well as for the lifeline. As strong as steel, but much tougher. 
  • Capture-spiral silk: Used for the capturing lines of the web. Sticky, extremely stretchy and tough. 
  • Tubiliform silk: Used for protective egg sacs.  Stiffest silk. 
  • Aciniform silk: Used to wrap and secure freshly captured prey. Two to three times as tough as the other silks. 
  • Minor-ampullate silk: Used for minor, all-purpose applications.
HOW  THEY  DO  IT 

Depending on the species, spiders will have anything from two to eight spinnerets, usually in pairs. The beginning of the gland is rich in thiol and tyrosine groups. After this beginning process, the ampulla acts as a storage sac for the newly created fibers. From there, the spinning duct effectively removes water from the fiber and through fine channels also assists in its formation. Lipid secretions take place just at the end of the distal limb of the duct, and proceeds to the valve. The valve is believed to assist in rejoining broken fibers, acting much in the way of a helical pump.

Unspun silk dope is pulled through silk glands, resulting in a transition from stored gel to final solid fiber. Many species of spider have different glands for different jobs, such as housing and web construction, defense, capturing and detaining prey, mobility and in extreme cases even as food. Thus, different specialized silks have evolved with material properties optimized for their intended use.

    The Market and the Applications

a
The DNA research that has been conducted in laboratories around the world over the last 20 years, has paved the way for new products and opened up commercial opportunities that would have been undreamed of a generation ago.

DNA instructs cells in their life processes. Genetic engineering is the means by which that machinery is employed.


Artist Kebes using vector drawing software Structure of spider silk. Inside a typical fiber, one finds crystalline regions separated by amorphous linkages. The crystals are beta-sheets that have assembled together.
Transgenics is the scientific process of decoding the genetic instructions of an organism and applying those instructions to another organism. In that way, bio chemicals and other products can be produced and delivered on an industrial scale.

KBLB is at the forefront of the coming revolution in materials technology.

MODERN APPLICATIONS
 Genetic Engineering, is the key to a brighter future for both consumers and industry.

BIOENGINEERED SPIDER SILKS HAVE TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL IN THE MARKET PLACE FOR HIGH STRENGTH, LIGHT-WEIGHT MATERIALS SUCH AS:
Bulletproof vests, parachute cords, suspension cables, wear-resistant shoes 
and clothing, seat belts, rust-free bumpers for automobiles, 
artificial tendons and ligaments

Scientists have previously suggested that a mere pencil-thick strand of silk 
could actually stop a Boeing 747 in mid flight. 

As with all things having to do with thin reinforced materials, 
the U.S. military has in the past expressed great interest in spider silks. In fact, the U.S. Army funded research into production methods for spider silk, but was unable to replicate the mechanical properties of the fiber as produced in nature. But interest in the new material doesn't stop there. Clothing and fabric companies could also benefit from the discovery as well as medical companies that make stents and other biomedical devices.
