Thanks for the link!

At first I thought that this might be related to Spiber Inc. in some way, but looking into it, i don't think so anymore. Riken is a separate entity altogether. It looks like there will be more or is already players in the spider silk field than first thought.

Here is an English link to the enzyme research team page where you can see a list of some of Keiji Numata's publications: http://www.riken.jp/en/research/labs/csrs/biomass_eng/enzyme/

Looking into it a little deeper, it looks like the may have found a solution or work around to the issue that First Mike brought up in His stickied post #91957.

I admit that it goes way over my head, but here is a link to an easier to understand article with a link to the scientific article at the bottom: http://www.riken.jp/en/research/rikenresearch/highlights/7385/

I will have to look into this a little more when I get more time.
