Abstract
This study examined the enzymatic digestion, average molecular weight distribution and structural changes of Bombyx mori silk gland fibroin using gel penneation chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance methods. The pure-separation of calcium chloride-treated fibroin hydrolysates was carried out by gel filtration chromatography. Also, the effects of fibroin's enzymatic hydrolysis were investigated using an edible enzyme. The average molecular weight of three hydrolysate samples (silk gland fibroin (SF), SF-calcium chloride (SFC), and SFC-enzyme) were measured to compare their characteristics. The molecular weights of SF, SFC, and SFC-enzyme were approximately 108,000, 65,000, and 1,000 Da, respectively. Finally, we determined the structural characteristic changes of the different enzymatically digested samples by $^{13}C$ nuclear magnetic resonance methods. For the enzymatically digested fibroin, the glycine $^{13}C^{\alpha}$ resonance indicated that the amino acid was dramatically changed and/or separated out; however, this was not shown for the normal Bombyx mori silk gland fibroin.
