Description
An insoluble, white, fibrous protein. Fibroin is the primary structural component of silk, secreted along with sericin by the insect. Unlike wool, silk is composed mainly of non-sulfur containing amino acids. The primary amino acids, glycine, alanine and serine, are contained in dense, highly crystalline regions of the fiber. The amorphous regions are composed of tryosine, tryptophane, histidine and phenylalanine.
Synonyms and Related Terms
fibroína (Esp.); fibroïne (hoofdbestanddeel van ruwe zijde) (Ned);
Physical and Chemical Properties
Soluble in concentrated acids and alkalis. Insoluble in water, ethanol and ether.
