Silk fibroin (SF) fiber from the silkworm Bombyx mori in the Silk II form has been used as an
excellent textile fiber for over 5000 years. Recently it has been developed for a range of …

Recently, considerable attention has been paid to silks by a range of scientists from textile
engineers to polymer chemists and biomedical researchers. The application of native silk …

Spider silk fibers are one of the most remarkable biopolymers displaying a unique
combination of mechanical properties, biocompatibility and biodegradability. The …

The conformational transition of molecular chains of regenerated silk fibroin (SF) aqueous
solution is systematically investigated by circular dichroism, Raman, IR, and UV–vis …

Spiders synthesize several kinds of silk fibers. In the primary structure of spider silk, one of
the major ampullate (dragline, frame) silks, spidroin 1, and flagelliform silk (core fibers of …

The objective of this study was to prepare silk fibroin SF microspheres containing the
enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) by using a novel ultra-fine particle processing …

Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is particularly useful in
structural studies of amyloid fibrils because solid state NMR techniques have unique …

The structure of an elastin-mimetic model peptide,(VPGVG) 6, was proposed by combining
data obtained from quantitative use of the conformation-dependent 13C NMR chemical …

Generalized two-dimensional (2D) correlation spectroscopy was used to characterize the
structural evolution of silk fibroin as the pH changed from 6.8 to 4.8, demonstrating that the …
