An investigation of the structure of silk fibroin
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1955Abstract An investigation based on new X-ray diffraction data, including quantitative spectrometric measurements of X-ray intensities, has led to the derivation of the fundamental structural features of silk fibroin. The structure consists of extended polypeptide chains bonded together by lateral N—H…O hydrogen bonds to form antiparallel-chain ...

Silk Fibroin in Tissue Engineering
Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2012AbstractTissue engineering (TE) is a multidisciplinary field that aims at the in vitro engineering of tissues and organs by integrating science and technology of cells, materials and biochemical factors. Mimicking the natural extracellular matrix is one of the critical and challenging technological barriers, for which scaffold engineering has become a ...

In vitro degradation of silk fibroin
Biomaterials, 2005A significant need exists for long-term degradable biomaterials which can slowly and predictably transfer a load-bearing burden to developing biological tissue. In this study Bombyx mori silk fibroin yarns were incubated in 1mg/ml Protease XIV at 37 degrees C to create an in vitro model system of proteolytic degradation.

WHEN silk fibroin is dissolved in cupri-ethylenediamine and the solution neutralized and dialysed through a ‘Cellophane’ sac against running water, an aqueous solution of fibroin is obtained. Coleman and Howitt1 have suggested that, in this water-soluble state, fibroin can exist in two forms, since at pH approximately 3.0, part is precipitated while ...

Phase Behavior and Hydration of Silk Fibroin
Biomacromolecules, 2004The osmotic stress method was applied to study the thermodynamics of supramolecular self-assembly phenomena in crystallizable segments of Bombyx mori silkworm silk fibroin. By controlling compositions and phases of silk fibroin solution, the method provided a means for the direct investigation of microscopic and thermodynamic details of these ...

Abstract (35 Word Limit) The ancient silk fibre finds new application as a bio-chemically functional optofluidic material. We demonstrate a silk protein diffraction grating doped with human haemoglobin. The haemoglobin remains chemically active within the grating.
