Currently, Spider silk attracts significant attention because of its outstanding mechanical and biological properties, such as high strength (~1.5GPa), biocompatibility and regenerative activity. The possibility of creating optically active material with aforesaid features reveals new opportunities for research and its application in regenerative medicine. This work describes 3 principal approaches of engineering such material based on optically active carbon dots and natural spider silk.
