Postnova Analytics af2000 tm af4 system
Structural and rheological characterization of silk fibroin variants. (a) Schematic overview of silk fibroin (SF) processing from Bombyx mori cocoons. Key steps include degumming at different timings (10, 30, 50 min) to remove sericin, dissolution and dialysis, and recovery to obtain silk fibroin solutions with varying molecular weights. (b) Structural depiction of SF10, SF30, and SF50 proteins, highlighting their secondary structure organization as determined by degumming time. Increasing degumming time correlates with increased fragmentation and reduced molecular weight. (c—I) Weight‐average molar mass ( M w ¯ ) versus radius of gyration ( R g ) of SF10, SF30, and SF50 obtained via asymmetric flow field‐flow fractionation technique <t>(AF4).</t> (c—II) Correlation between R g and hydrodynamics radius ( R h ) of SF10, SF30, and SF50 (left axis) and shape factor ( R g / R h ). (d—I) β‐sheet and α‐helix fractions (areas of peaks at ∼ 1515 and ∼ 1545 cm −1 (from Gaussian fittings) divided by the total area of the amide II band) and crystallinity index (CI; from the 1515/1545 cm −1 absorbance ratio). Please note that here we have employed the amide II rather than the possibly more common amide I band; the former is equally informative about protein secondary structures , and indeed the two bands provide rather similar information , but the former is advantageous for fully hydrated samples like ours, because it does not suffer from interference with the water bending (δOH) absorption. (d—II) Schematic representation of silk fibroin crystalline domain. (e) tan (δ) of 0.2% % wt. SF10, SF30, and SF50 as a function of frequency (ω) obtained from diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS). Please refer to Figure , for the dependency on concentration in the 0.1–4.0% range. (f) Correlation plot describing the effect of degumming‐time‐dependent degradation and denaturation process on SF10, SF30, and SF50 structural properties.
