AB - This paper studies the nanostructure characterizations of β-sheet in silk  fiber with different reaction temperatures. A molecular dynamic model is  developed and simulated by Gromacs software packages. The results reveal the  change rules of the number of hydrogen bonds in β-sheet under different  temperatures. The best reaction temperature for the β-sheet crystals is also  found. This work provides theoretical basis for the designing of materials  based on silk.
