Abstract: The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of fibroin from He Nan B. mori and Liao Ning A. pernyi (yellow and artificial white cocoon) in trifluoroacetic acid were recorded on Bruker AM-500 NMR spectrometer. The NMR spectral lines of main amino acid residues in silk protein have been obtained. The results show that the amount of amino acids in B. mori and A. pernyi is different, but the NMR spectrum of fibroin from A. pernyi yellow cocoon is similar to that of artificial white cocoon.

Key words: Bombyx mori, Antheraea pernyi, Fibroin, Cocoon, Amino acid residues
