Question

what is sericin pls answer I will mark him as branilist and 50 point it's related to fibre chapter ​​

Answer 1

Sericin is a protein created by Bombyx mori (silkworms) in the production of silk. Silk is fibre consisting of mainly two proteins, fibroin and sericin. Silk consists of 70–80% fibroin and 20–30% sericin; fibroin being the structural center of the silk, and sericin being the gum coating the fibres and allowing them to stick to each other.

Sericin is composed of 18 different amino acids, of which 32% is serine.There are also three different types of sericin, which make up the layers found on top of the fibroin. Sericin A, which is insoluble in water, is the outermost layer, and contains approximately 17% nitrogen, along with amino acids such as serine, threonine, aspartic acid, and glycine. Sericin B, composed the middle layer and is nearly the same as sericin A, but also contains tryptophan. Sericin C is the innermost layer, the layer that comes closest to and is adjacent to fibroin. Also insoluble in water, sericin C can be separated from the fibroin via the addition of a hot, weak acid. Sericin C also contains the amino acids present in B, along with the addition of proline.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sericin is a protein that surrounds fibroin, which becomes silk.

An ancient Chinese tradition was to drink a decoction of silkworm cocoons as a treatment for diabetes.

At Seiren, we've used silk since the founding of our company, and we noticed how people who handle silk appear young, healthy, and attractive. Research indicated sericin as a major contributing factor.

The section indicated in blue represents sericin,

which surrounds fibroin depicted in red.

Subsequently, we were the first in the world to develop a unique, patented* manufacturing process to extract and refine highly-pure sericin. We have also actively pursued research into the functions of sericin, making one groundbreaking discovery after another into sericin's potential.
