| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, it was found that peptides contain (GAGAGS)n sequences immobilized on silk fibroin specifically. Solid-state 13C CP/MAS NMR, FTIR-ATR, Raman imaging spectroscopy and Differential scanning calorimetry were performed to investigate secondary structures and thermal properties of silk fibroin molecules. These results indicated that beta-sheet contents in silk fibroin films influenced the immobilization efficiency of peptides.
Novel hybrid peptides composed of (GAGAGS)n sequences, cleavable sequences and wound healing sequences were designed and synthesized. Immobilizations and cleavages of fluorescence-labeled hybrid peptides were evaluated.
