  1. 1. Analyzing Synthetic Spider Silk-based Diffraction Grids for the Sunshade Project

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Johanna D'Ciofalo Khodaverdian; Amira Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Sunshade project; Diffraction grating; Artificial spider silk; Climate change; Geoengineering;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change a proposed space-based geoengineering solutionis to screen off solar irradiance by placing a membrane in between the Earthand the Sun. The feasibility of such a project largely depends on minimizingthe mass of the shading screen and as an extension to the Sunshade projectthis thesis investigated how such a low-mass membrane could be designed.

  3. 2. Sortase A coupling of the recombinant partial silk proteins 4Rep-Srt and G-/G5-CT to understand the structure of silk fiber

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Ellen Adlerz; [2023]
    Keywords : 4RepCT; 4Rep-Srt; G- G5-CT; Sortase A coupling; recombinant silk protein; 4RepCT; 4Rep-Srt; G- G5-CT; Sortase A-koppling; rekombinant silkesprotein;

    Abstract : Spindelsilke är ett intressant material på grund av dess biokompatibilitet och därav användning som biomaterial. Det är jämförbart med konstgjorda material när det gäller styrka och elasticitet, och i kombination med biokompatibiliteten, är spindelsilke eftertraktat inom det medicinska området. READ MORE

  4. 3. Recombinant production of spider silk for enzymatic phosphorylation

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Kristel Jaiu; [2022]
    Keywords : Caddisfly larval silk; FN-4RepCT; phosphorylation; protein kinase A; recombinant spider silk; Nattsländesilke; FN-4RepCT; fosforylering; proteinkinas A; rekombinant spindeltrådsilke;

    Abstract : Ett rekombinant framställt miniatyrspindelsilkeprotein, funktionaliserat med ett Arg-Gly-Asp-motiv som finns i fibronektin, FN-4RepCT, har använts för många olika bioteknologiska tillämpningar, som vävnadsteknik och cellodling, i form av fibrer, filmer och skum. FN-4RepCT kan produceras i Escherichia coli, och det interagerar spontant med sig självt och bildar fibrer under fysiologiska förhållanden. READ MORE

  5. 4. NETWORK : Learning from the Architects of Nature

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Arkitekthögskolan vid Umeå universitet

    Author : Matilda Thorup; [2021]
    Keywords : Architecture; biomimicry; Cyrtophora citricola; tent web spider; Frei Otto; tensile architecture;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to attempt to solve technical and spatial issues in an architectural project by looking at a species of spider, Cyrtphora Citricola. This will be done using desk-based research, reference reading and testing models. READ MORE

  6. 5. Permeability of fluorescently labelled proteins in silk-based skin equivalent

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

    Author : Gabriel Chumpitaz Chavez; [2021]
    Keywords : skin equivalent; recombinant spider silk; fibroblasts; keratinocytes; permeability; Franz cells; fluorescence; bovine serum albumin; sodium fluorescein salt;

    Abstract : Development of methods for studying drug delivery systems is of great significance for the improvement of topical formulations. Active compounds for topical drug delivery are often formulated into gels and creams, that can be applied onto skin surfaces. READ MORE
