As a condition for obtaining the silk I type crystal that has stability and high reproducibility, after dissolving silk fibroin crystalline part (Fcp), the changes of recrystallized crystal structure according to dialytic pH were examined by x-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis. The Fcp was obtained from the aqueous solution of silk fibroin enzymatic proteolyzed by chymotrypsin. The crystal structure of Fcp showed silk II type. When the Fcp was dissolved by 10M LiBr aqueous solution, the Fcp1 showed the silk II type at pH 9. However, besides the silk II type, the silk I type structure begins to appear at pH 8 and only the silk I type structure was found below pH 6. On the other hand, the Fcp2 that calcium chloride was used in the dissolution found only the silk I type crystal structure below pH8.

Silk fibroin was dissolved in 9.3 M LiBr aqueous solution at 4$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The dissolved silk fibroin was regenerated by casting the dialyzed solution into the membrane. The freshly prepared silk fibroin membrane was soluble in water and was. mainly consisted of random coil conformation. By the treatments in saturated water vapor at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and in 75% ethanolic aqueous solution (V/V), the insoluble membranes were obtained and the structure and morphology of those were investigated for the structure by means of X-ray diffraction analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis. Rheovibron and scanning electron micrograph. Silk II type crystals were obtained by treating amorphous silk fibroin membrane in the random coil conformtion with 75% ethanol solution(V/V). Crystallization to silk II type crystals occured even after a few minutes, and a large number of silk II type crystals were formed after 30 mins. On the other and, the membrane treated in saturated water vapor was composed of the mixtures of silk I and silk II type crystals. A large number of silk I and silk II type crystals were formed after 24 hours. The micro brownian motion in the amorphous regions of silk fibroin membrane started at about 175~185$^{\circ}C$. $\alpha$ dispersion appeared at about 20$0^{\circ}C$ in the amorphous membrane, and at about 22$0^{\circ}C$ in the crystalline membrane. The crystallization of random coil conformation to silkII type crystals occured at about 215$^{\circ}C$. The surface, bottom and cross-section of the membranes were observed by scanning electrom microscope. Fine forms alike spherulites appeared at the surface of crystalline membrane.

The crystalline fraction of silk fibroin (Fcp) was obtained from the aqueous solution of silk fibroin hydrolyzed by $\alpha$-chymotrypsin. The molecular weight of Fcp was found approximately 7000 by using high speed GPC. On the other hand, a high molecular weight of PIFcp product could be obtained by the reverse reaction of enzymatic proteolysis of Fcp precipitates. Some parts of this PIFcp have the molecular weights of approximately 17000 and 24000. As a result of x-ray diffraction analysis, the crystal structure of Fcp and PIFcp was turned out silk-II type and silk-I type, respectively. Upon the reverse reaction of enzymatic protelysis, the structural transition occured from silk-II type to silk-I type crystal for the most of Fcp precipitates. It was confirmed that PIFcp might be somewhat stable crystal structure of silk-I type according to the thermal analysis as well as x-ray diffraction method.

With the view of studying on the dual adsorption mechanism of acid dyes in connection with the structural difference of silk fibroin, silk fiber and silk fibroin memberane were used for equilibrium dyeing at $60^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$ and pH 3.2, pH 5.0. The dyes used were C.I.Acid Orange 7 and C.I.Acid Red 88 introduced aromatic hydrocabon into Acid Orange 7. From the adsorption isotherm experiment, the total uptake of dyes can be described by Langmuir sorption and Nernst partition. Nernst partition. Nernst partition coefficient $K_1$ decrease of crystalline regions and orientation. The saturation value S of Acid Red 88 were large than total amino group contents and it was attributed it hydrophobic bond. On the other hand, the standard afficity and enthalpy were increased with the in crease of hydrophobic part of dyes. Both $k_1$ and $K_2$ were decreased with the increase of pH, but $k_2$ were more effected than $K_1$.

In order to investigate the crystallization in silk fibroin induced by acid treatment and its photo-yellowing reduction effect. silk fibroin were immersed in PH 3.5~4.0 sulfuric acid and 0.01N hydro-chloric acid at 2$0^{\circ}C$, and the changes of crystallinity were measured by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction. Yellowness index caused by UV irradiation were also observed. The results are as follows : 1. ${\beta}$-form transition occurs when the silk fibroin are immersed at 2$0^{\circ}C$ in pH 3.5~4.0 sulfuric acid and 0.01N hydro-chloric acid. Formation of new hydrogenbond in molecules on the amorphous region induced ${\beta}$-form structure, and increased crystallinity. 2. Crystallization owing to $\beta$-form transition reduced the initial yellowness index by ultraviolet irradiation.
