To overcome this challenge, the study authors used graphene as the base, and upon it, carefully arranged uniform 2D layers of silk protein fragments, also called fibroins. Graphene prevents ...
A recent collaborative study between three laboratories at Tufts found that silk fibroin protein can be modified to have significantly high hydrophobicity. Krishna Kumar, a chemist at Tufts and ...
Her team has discovered a new silk protein that may help explain this phenomenon, they report in the journal Communications Biology. Toughness doesn't only refer to the strength of the material, but ...
Researchers have now found an unusual way of stabilizing the protein and making it more potent. By adding a spider silk protein to p53, they show that it is possible to create a protein that is ...
Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and their colleagues at the University of Bayreuth investigated whether an artificial silk protein developed in the ...
A goat that produces spider's web protein is about to revolutionise the materials industry. Stronger and more flexible than steel, spider silk offers a lightweight alternative to carbon fibre. Up to ...
Nanofibrous silk mat for wound dressing ... and was coated with 0.1 mg/ml of recombinant spider silk proteins containing antimicrobial peptides, cell binding protein and growth factor peptide.
Here, a brief guide to this breakthrough: They genetically modified goats to produce milk that contains the same protein that spiders use to make silk. Scientists then extracted the silk proteins ...
