Silkworm Sericin: Properties and Biomedical Applications
Silk sericin is a natural polymer produced by silkworm, Bombyx mori, which surrounds and keeps together two fibroin filaments in silk thread used in the cocoon. The recovery and reuse of sericin usually discarded by the textile industry not only minimizes environmental issues but also has a high scientific and commercial value. The physicochemical properties of the molecule are responsible for ...
متن کاملPURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF GLUE LIKE SERICIN PROTEIN FROM A WILD SILKWORM Antheraea assamensis Helfer
Sericin is a hot water soluble glycoprotein and has been partially characterized in the domesticated silkworm Bombyx mori. Contrary to this very little information is available about the sericin of non mulberry silkworms. Sericin is generally a waste product during degumming. Recent advancement in silkworm research has revealed the use of sericin of B. mori as protein based biomaterial involvin...
متن کاملHaloTag Technology: A Versatile Platform for Biomedical Applications
Exploration of protein function and interaction is critical for discovering links among genomics, proteomics, and disease state; yet, the immense complexity of proteomics found in biological systems currently limits our investigational capacity. Although affinity and autofluorescent tags are widely employed for protein analysis, these methods have been met with limited success because they lack...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of antiviral protein from silkworm fecal matter
Antiviral proteins (AVP), present in silkworm fecal matter, show activity against nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) in vitro and in vivo. The extract of silkworm fecal matter prepared in phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.5 was subjected to 50% solid ammonium sulfate precipitation to enrich AVP, then which was dialyzed. The dialysate was applied to the column containing silica gel-G, the column e...
متن کاملThe silk proteins, sericin and fibroin in silkworm, Bombyx mori Linn., - a review
The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori Linn., a lepidopteran molecular model and an important economic insect that are emerging as an ideal molecular genetic resource for solving a broad range of biological problems. The silkworm, B. mori produces massive amount of silk proteins during the final stage of larval development. These proteins are stored in the middle silk gland and they are dischar...
