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 67ะC. The viscometric behavior of the fibroin-salt solution was analyzed and the fibroin's secondary structures were de

The conformational transformation of a 30-residue peptide H(Ala-Gly-Ser-Gly-Ala-Gly) 5 OH, i.e., (AGSGAG) 5 , extracted from highly crystalline region of Bombyx mori (B. mori) silk fibroin was described by using the high resolution solid state 13 C NMR, and CD spectroscopies. Based on the conformati
## When newly molted 5th (last) instar larvae of Bombyx mori were fed an artificial diet containing 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), an extra larval molt was induced and the cuticle layer of the anterior silk gland was renewed. In contrast, feeding 20E to 5th instar larvae allatectomized in the mid-4th i
