2015年7月1日 · For centuries, Bombyx mori silkworm silk fibroin has been used as a high-end textile fiber. Beyond textiles, silk fibroin has also been used as a surgical suture material for decades, and is being further developed for various emerging biomedical applications.
Fibroin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Fibroin is a glycoprotein which is insoluble, not toxic, less immunogenic, hydrophobic and histocompatibility in nature. It is composed of alanine, serine and glycine amino acids, resulting in antiparallel beta-sheet formation [96].
Silk Fibroin: An Emerging Biocompatible Material for Application …
2020年6月16日 · Silk fibroin (SF) has emerged as a biocompatible material to interface with enzymes as well as whole cells. These biomaterials can be tailored both physically and chemically to create excellent scaffolds of different forms such as fibers, films, and powder for immobilization and stabilization of enzymes.
Silk Fibroin-Based Biomaterials for Biomedical Applications: A …
At macroscopic level, natural silkworm silk thread comprises two structural proteins: fibroin (72–81 wt%) and sericin (19–28 wt%), and also small amounts of fat/wax (0.8–1%) and color/ash (1–1.4%). Fibroin, the main component of silk, acts as the inner core and provides mechanical strength, while sericin is the outer glue-like coating.
