Characterization and Scaled-Up Production of Azido-Functionalized Silk Fiber Produced by Transgenic Silkworms with an Expanded Genetic Code

The creation of functional materials from renewable resources has attracted much interest. We previously reported on the genetic code expansion of the domesticated silkworm <i>Bombyx mori</i> to functionalize silk fiber with synthetic amino acids such as 4-azido-L-phenylalanine (AzPhe)....
