Abstract
We investigated the interaction between phospholipid membranes and silk fibroin recovered from the posterior silk gland of the silkworm. Observations of the planar lipid bilayer membrane and electron microscopic observations of liposomes showed that newly constructed silk fibroin, existing in the form of filaments, quickly penetrates phospholipid membranes without bursting them.
