This study was focused on the conformational characterization of Bombyx mori silk Γbroin in Γlm, Γber and powder form by means of Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy. Native and regenerated silk Γbroin Γlms prepared by casting dilute silk Γbroin solutions (AE1% , w/v) display characteristic conform
Bombyx mori silk fibroin from the silkworm was found to be soluble in a calcium nitrate-methanol system. Fibroin dissolves in 75% w/v Ca(NO 3 ) 2 /MeOH solution at a temperature of 67ΠC. The viscometric behavior of the fibroin-salt solution was analyzed and the fibroin's secondary structures were de
