  • Regenerated Antheraea pernyi silk sponge was prepared using calcium nitrate 4 hydrate melt and examined the conformational changes treated with aqueous ethanol solution. The conformation of silk sponges was changed from random coil structure to ${\beta}$-sheet and ${\alpha}$-helix conformation with low ethanol concentration (50 ~ 70%). On the other hand, that of silk sponges with 80% ethanol treatment showed ${\beta}$-sheet ($700cm^{-1}$), ${\alpha}$-helix ($625cm^{-1}$), and random coil ($660cm^{-1}$) specific peaks. Wound healing effect in vitro was observed by cytoslective wound healing kit. Therefore, regenerated Antheraea pernyi silk sponges might be used as promising wound dressing materials.
