Difference between Fibroin and Silk

Fibroin vs. Silk

Fibroin is an insoluble protein present in silk created by spiders, the larvae of Bombyx mori, other moth genera such as Antheraea, Cricula, Samia and Gonometa, and numerous other insects. Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles.

Similarities between Fibroin and Silk

Fibroin and Silk have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alanine, Amino acid, Beta sheet, Bombyx mori, Glycine, Polylactic acid, Protein, Sericin, Serine, Textile.
