    Sammanfattning : Proteins found in nature offer a vast range of exceptional materials, including high-performancebiopolymers such as spider silks and whey protein nanofibrils. Fibrous proteins possess immensepotential for developing novel materials suited for various applications, such as medicalbiomaterials or industrial products. LÄS MER

  3. 2. A star is born : development of NT* as a new biotechnological tool based on the mechanism of pH dependent dimerization of the spidroin N-terminal domain

    Författare :Médoune Sarr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Proteins are widely used in research and in the pharmaceutical industry but the production of recombinant protein can be tedious, costly and time-consuming due to unwanted aggregation. Strategies to circumvent aggregation, e.g. the use of solubility tags, must be evaluated experimentally and successful results are not always obtained. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Biomimetic spider silk and bioactive hydrogels formed by engineered recombinant spider silk proteins

    Författare :Tina Arndt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Spider silk is a unique material and its properties have fascinated material scientists, biologists and physicians for decades. Spider silk display one of the highest toughness found among fibers in nature, is used by spiders for web-spinning, prey-wrapping and cocoon building, while scientists have explored its biomaterials properties for multiple purposes.

    Sammanfattning : This thesis introduces new ways to produce micro-and nanostructures of recombinant spider silk and explores ways to characterize their topography, mechanical properties, cell compatibility, and permeability. The suitability of the formed structures for applications within tissue engineering, primarily in vitro tissue modeling, is also investigated. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Mechanisms of native and artificial spinning of spider silk

    Författare :Marlene Andersson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Spider silk is tougher than all other known natural and man-made fibers, and represents an environmentally friendly material that could potentially be used for many different purposes, ranging from biomaterials to construction materials. However, for large-scale production of silk, methods to produce artificial silk fibers must be developed. LÄS MER
