Abstract
Silk are structural proteins produced by arthropods. Silk contains two proteins, fibroin and sericin, which promote wound healing. A study analyzed the relationship of fibroin proteins between some insect species, providing crucial knowledge in nanotechnology, material science, and biotechnology. The findings can guide scientists and engineers in exploring potential applications of fibroin proteins in various fields, such as biomedical engineering and biodegradable plastics. This research opens doors for innovative advancements in biotechnology, benefiting society as a whole.
