It's right there in the first paragraph: "The fiber’s tensile strength is comparable to that of natural spider silk"...
The challenge in artificial production is NOT the chemistry of the variation in the proteins, but the physical aspect of duplication of the spinning process. AMSilk can engineer fibers that are designed to exceed spider silk properties... as long as they can produce the precursors, figure out the chemistry of assembly, and integrate that with the spinning process. That they've done that well enough already to be able to spin ANY fiber based on spider derived proteins... is BIG news. They've done the hard part.
The obstacles that KBLB has... in integrating the inter-specific proteins... are not obstacles for AMSilk.
AMSilk CAN spin an oriented fiber... which KBLB can't...
AMSilk will now begin effort focused on optimizing that thing... which KBLB can't do...
So, it's looking like I was correct... that AMSilk's only beginning their competition... and will proceed from a first result in a product having the properties KBLB seeks to duplicate... but hasn't yet.
I wouldn't say "it's over" yet...
But, you can see the fat lady warming up, over there...
