We have previously suggested that crystalline Bombyx mori silk in silk II form (the silk structure after spinning) is not a simple antiparallel β-sheet but is intrinsically heterogeneous. Using the peptide (AG) 15, we have obtained the first fully assigned high resolution solid state 1 H NMR spectrum. Distinct heterog…
