Abstract

Structure and Properties of sericinjam sericin extracted was investigated using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, UV, CD, and DSC. The molecular weight and its distribution of sericinjam sericin showed broad tailing pattern. Circular dichlroism spectra showed that the structure of sericinjam sericin in solution was different with domestic one. However, differential thermal calorimetric properties are similar to each other.
