Regenerated silk fibroin fibers from the cocoons of silkworm, Bombyx mori, were prepared with hexafluoro solvents, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) or hexafluoroacetone-trihydrate (HFA), as dope solvents and methanol as coagulation solvent. The regenerated fiber prepared from the HFIP solution showed slightly larger tensile strength when the draw ratio is 1:3 than that of native silk fiber, but the strength of the regenerated fiber with draw ratio 1:3 from the HFA solution is much lower than that of native silk fiber. This difference in the tensile strength of the regenerated silk fibers between two dope solvents comes from the difference in the long-range orientation of the crystalline region rather than that of short-range structural environment such as the fraction of beta-sheet structure. The increase in the biodegradation was observed for the regenerated silk fiber compared with native silk fiber. Preparations of regenerated silk fibroin fibers containing spider silk sequences were obtained by mixing silk fibroins and silk-like proteins with characteristic sequences from a spider, Naphila clavipes, to produce drag-line silk in E. coli in the fluoro solvents. A small increase in the tensile strength was obtained by adding 5% (w/w) of the silk-like protein to the silk fibroin. The production of silk fibroin fibers with these spider silk sequences was also performed with transgenic silkworms. Small increase in the tensile strength of the fibers was obtained without significant change in the elongation-at-break.
从家蚕茧中提取的再生丝素纤维,采用六氟溶剂 1,1,1,3,3,3-六氟-2-丙醇(HFIP)或六氟乙酰丙酮三水合物(HFA)作为纺丝溶剂,甲醇作为凝固浴溶剂进行制备。与天然丝纤维相比,在拉伸比为 1:3 时,由 HFIP 溶液制备的再生纤维的拉伸强度略高,但拉伸比为 1:3 的 HFA 溶液制备的再生纤维的强度要低得多。两种纺丝溶剂制备的再生丝纤维拉伸强度的这种差异来自于结晶区的远程取向的差异,而不是短程结构环境(如β-折叠结构的分数)的差异。与天然丝纤维相比,再生丝纤维的生物降解性有所提高。通过混合丝素蛋白和具有特征序列的蜘蛛丝样蛋白,从蜘蛛 Naphila clavipes 中获得具有蜘蛛丝序列的再生丝素纤维,在氟溶剂中在大肠杆菌中生产拖丝。向丝素蛋白中添加 5%(w/w)的丝样蛋白可使拉伸强度略有提高。还通过转基因蚕进行了这些蜘蛛丝序列的丝素纤维的生产。纤维的拉伸强度略有增加,而断裂伸长率没有明显变化。
