A. assama degummed cocoon silk showed single band of H-fibroin at 230 kDa, in lane A.a. marked with a hollow arrow head. In lane A.a.*, an extra band is visible at 460 kDa (solid arrowhead), besides the expected 230 kDa band, which corresponds to its uncleaved remnants of H-fibroin homodimer. Lane B.m. corresponds to degummed silk protein sample prepared from B. mori silk, used as positive control to show the absence of corresponding fibroin light chain homolog in A. assama degummed silk. Lane M corresponds to protein ladder showing heavy molecular weight size standards (460 kDa to 41 kDa).
