For the application of silk sericin, silk sericin powders were prepared by various spray dry conditions and the characteristics of silk sericin/polyurethane mixed films were investigated. When the sericin was dried from the solution at higher inlet and outlet temperature, larger sizes of the powder particles were obtained. It was also found that inlet and outlet temperatures were important factors affecting the shape and surface characteristics of sericin power particle. The many holes and empty spaces were observed at the surface and cross section of sericin/PU mixed film. With the increase of the amount of sericin powder in the mixed films, the size and number of holes and empty spaces were increased. The thickness of sericin/PU mixed film was increased with the content of sericin powder. As the portion of sericin powder increase, the tenacity is decreased while the elongation slightly increased.

To hydrolyze insolule sericin the enzyme hydrolysis was used, and then obtained the results as given belows. When insoluble sericin was hydrolyzed by enzyme treatment, the solubility was best at pH 7, 60$\^{C}$ and was slightly increased both above 2 hours treatment and above 10% of enzyme concentration. As the results of electrophoresis, the distribution of molecular weight of sericin powder obtained by enzyme hydrolysis was very weak and showed in the wide range having no distinguishable band. Average degree of polymerzations (A.D.P.) of sericin hydrolyzed by enzyme were about 4.1∼6.3, average molecular weight were about 470∼730. The whiteness of the sericin powder obtained by enzyme hydrolysis was high and increased slightly with higher treatment concentration of enzyme. As the results of amino acid analysis, the amino acid analysis, the amino acid composition of the sericin powder from the enzyme treatment were similar to which located at near 230$\^{C}$ and 320$\^{C}$. The peak of near 230$\^{C}$ could not been found in the sericin powder obtained by enzyme hydrolysis.

고온고압법으로 추출한 세리신을 동결건조한 후 가정용 믹서기, 볼밀, 울트라밀 등 을 사용하여 물리적으로 분쇄하여 제조한 세리신 분말의 구조 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 아미노산 조성 분석, 적외선 분광분석, X-선 회절분석, 열분석 등을 행한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1.물리적 방법으로 분쇄하여 제조한 세리신 분말의 수율은 60% 정도였으며 물에 대한 용해도는 50% 정도로 대조로 사용한 세리신 스폰지(98%)에 비하여 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 2. 물리적 분쇄조건에 따라 세리신 분말의 크기를 조절할 수 있었다. 3. 세리신 분말의 아미노산 조성을 분석한 결과 물리적 방법으로 분쇄하여 제조한 세리신 분말의 염기성 아미노산인 아르기닌의 함량이 대조(3.73)에 비하여 0.03∼0.07로 현저하게 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 4.

불용성 세리신을 가수분해하기 위해 염산 수용액을 이용하여 농도 및 시간별로 처리하여 처리조건이 가수분해에 미치는 영향에 대해 관찰되었다. 가수분해 후 분말화하여 분자량 분포와 분자량 및 백도를 측정하였고, 아미노산 분석을 통하여 세리신의 아미노산 조성의 변화를 시험하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 염산 가수분해시 0.5N HCl보다 1N 처리시의 용해도가 5%가량 높았고, 처리 시간이 경과할수록 용해도가 증가하고, 6시간 이상의 처리에서는 그 증가폭이 크지않았다. 가수분해된 세리신의 전기영동 결과는 인정할만한 특정밴드는 나타나지 않았으며 분자량 6,000~20,000 사이에 많이 분포하는 것을 알았다. 가수분해된 세리신의 평균 중합도를 측정한 결과 4.2~5.9이었으며, 이를 분자량으로 환산하면 각각 470~670정도가 된다. 백도는 가수분해 시간이 경과할수록 감소하였다. 가수분해된 세리신의 아미노산 분석시 세리신 가수분해물은 220$^{\circ}C$ 부근의 열변성 피크와 330$^{\circ}C$ 부근의 열분해 피크에서 흡열 피크가 관찰되었다.

When insoluble sericin was hydrolyzed by treatment of NaOH solution, the solubility was increased with higher treatment temperature and longer treatment time. Whereas it was decreased in addition of NaHSO$_3$. As the results of electrophoresis in sericin powder obtained by the NaOH treatment, a distinguishable band was not confirmed. Average degree of polymerizations(A.D.P.) of sericin hydrolyzed by NaOH solutions were about 19.6∼22.1 and average molecular weight(M.W.) were about 2,200∼2,500. The longer hydrolysis time increased the whiteness of sericin powder. As the results of amino acid analysis, the contents of Thr., Tyr., and Ser. were decreased in NaOH hydrolysis as compared to HCl hydrolysis. In DSC analysis, thermal deformation and pyrolysis peak located at near 230$\^{C}$ and 320$\^{C}$, respectively.

In this study, the structural characteristics of sericin recovered from wastewater released from the silk textile industry (Plant sericin) were comparatively analyzed with those of sericin extracted from a silkworm cocoon produced in a laboratory (Lab sericin). To prepare Plant sericin, ethanol was added to wastewater (i.e., a sericin aqueous solution) after the degumming process to remove nonprotein materials, affording a sericin precipitate. To prepare Lab sericin, nonprotein materials were removed from a silkworm cocoon and sericin was subsequently extracted from the cocoon. Lab sericin and Plant sericin exhibited similar solution viscosities, gel strengths, and crystallinity indices, indicative of the similar molecular weights (MWs) of the two sericin samples. In the case of sericin powder, Plant sericin was more crystalline than Lab sericin due to its treatment with ethanol. The findings of this study revealed that sericin recovered from industrial wastewater can be used equally as its MW is similar to that of sericin obtained through laboratory-scale extraction.

Silver nanoparticles have been widely applied for biomedical areas owing to their potent antiviral and antibacterial activities. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles using biomacromolecules is more efficient, environment-friendly, and cost-saving compared with the traditional approach. In this paper, a novel approach was developed to establish a reaction system with $Ag^+-BH4^--sericin$ to synthesize silver nanoparticles conjugated to sericin (AgNPs-Sericin). Sericin could be as a good dispersant and stabilizing agent, which is able to modify nanoscaled AgNPs, the average diameter of which was only $3.78{\pm}1.14nm$ prepared in a 0.3 mg/ml sericin solution. The characterizations of the AgNPs-Sericin were determined by FTIR, thermogravimetry, and XRD analyses. The results showed that the synthesized AgNPs conjugated with sericin as organic phase. Via SAED and XRD analysis, we showed that these AgNPs formed polycrystalline powder with a face-centered cubic structure of bulk metals. Moreover, we investigated the antiviral and antibacterial activities of AgNPs-Sericin, and the results showed that AgNPs-Sericin exhibited potent anti-HIV-1 activity against CCR5-tropic and CXCR4-tropic strains, but no significant cytotoxicity was found toward human genital epithelial cells compared with free silver ions, which are accepted as a commonly used potent antimicrobial agent. Moreover, its antibacterial activity was determined via flow cytometry. The results showed that AgNPs-Sericin could suppress gram-negative (E. coli) and gram-positive (S. aureus) bacteria, but more was potent for the gram-negative one. We concluded that our AgNPs-Sericin could be a potential candidate as a microbicide or antimicrobial agent to prevent sexually transmitted infections.
