|
The behavior of tyrosine(Tyr.) residue of Bombyx mori silk fiber from yellow fluorescent cocoon has been examined for the dependence of pH in aqueous silk solution under the presence of orange II salt. Through the peak separation of angular dependence of spectral pattern of 15N-Tyr. and (1-13C)-Tyr. between the fiber axis and the molecular bond direction, N-H bond in fiber as well as the orientation distribution around the fiber axis were analyzed. Also, and sericin component was obtained from these angular dependence of oriented spectral pattern. The pH dependence of the 13C NMR chemical shift of B. mori silk fibroin was examined in aqueous solution in the presence of orange II hydrophobic interaction such as stacking between the Tyr.-ring and the orange ll. All peaks of orange II are broad at pH ≥ 7.0. However, these become sharper at pH ≥8.0 and remain sharp at higher pH. In these higher pH range, a chemical shift change occurs due to the deprotonation of the Tyr. side group of fibroin. At higher pH, such a hydrophobic cluster is destroyed because of the electrostatic interaction according to the deprotonation of the Tyr.-OH group.
