Non-mulberry Silk Fibroin Biomaterial for Corneal Regeneration [PDF]

, 2016
Successful repair of a damaged corneal surface is a great challenge and may require the use of a scaffold that supports cell growth and differentiation. Amniotic membrane is currently used for this purpose, in spite of its limitations. A thin transparent

Oxygen and ROS Delivery for Infected Wound Healing and Future Prospects

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Bacterial infection is a major driver of delayed wound healing and postsurgical readmissions; with rising antibiotic resistance, solid peroxide–releasing biomaterials offer sustained delivery of ROS/O2 for antimicrobial control and microenvironmental modulation.

Biomimetic self-assembly of tetrapeptides into fibrillar networks and organogels [PDF]

, 2008
The self-assembly features of a family of tetrapeptides inspired in silk structure are presented. An exhaustive study of the influence of the terminal alkyl chain length in this process is undertaken. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), wide-angle X-ray

Dynamics of Proteins by Thermal Decay of Free Radicals Induced by Ultraviolet Irradiation

Journal of Spectroscopy, 2018
The relationship between structure, dynamics, and function of biomolecules is a fundamental interest of biophysics. Protein dynamics drastically vary in temporal and spatial scales.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications of Silk/Bentonite Clay Composite for Heavy Metal Removal From Aqueous Solution

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2019
Bentonite clay is an abundant and low-cost adsorbent and silk fibroin, a naturally occurring protein, and both have a low capacity to remove lethal heavy metal ions from aqueous solution separately.

Wound Geometry Determines Whether Aligned‐Fiber Scaffolds Accelerate or Impede Diabetic Wound Healing: A Biased Random Walk Analysis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Wound closure is governed by geometry‐orientation coupling: aligned fibers speed migration along their axis but hinder perpendicular advance. In vivo diabetic wound experiments with composition‐matched fibrin, combined with an anisotropic diffusion (biased random‐walk) model, quantify this trade‐off and generate a healing landscape.

Enzymatic phosphorylation of silk fibroins : a platform for the production of biocompatible, cell-static, materials [PDF]

, 2014
Silks are natural protein polymers produced by insects. Silk heavy chain of B.mori is primarily composed of hydrophobic, –(–Ala–Gly–)n– -sheet crystalline domains.

Biocatalytic Synthesis of Polymers of Precisely Defined Structures [PDF]

, 1999
The fabrication of functional nanoscale devices requires the construction of complex architectures at length scales characteristic of atoms and molecules. Currently microlithography and micro-machining of macroscopic objects are the preferred methods for

Engineered Protein‐Based Ionic Conductors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Rational incorporation of charged residues into an engineered, self‐assembling protein scaffold yields solid‐state protein films with outstanding ionic conductivity. Salt‐doping further enhances conductivity, an effect amplified in the engineered variants. These properties enable the material integration into an efficient supercapacitor.
