| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Some disturbing molecules, which are to inhibit the formation of the crystal structure in silk fibroin fiber, were designed and synthesized for controlling the modulus of silk fiber in order to use the silk fibroin materials in tissue engineering field as the cell scaffold for soft tissue reconstitution.A novel peptide, RP3R-15, was able to decrease the tensile modulus of the electrospun fibroin nano-fiber non-woven mat. A single fiber of several transgenic fibroins which are contained the crystal regions with various length and number were evaluated the tensile and compressive modulus. However no effects were observed in this study.
