Abstract The conformational transition of [3-13C]Ser- and [3-13C]Tyr-Antheraea yamamai silk fibroin before spinning induced by stretching was investigated with 13C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy. The α-helix content of the silk fibroin before stretching was found to be 31.6% based on the Ala and Ser peaks. With increasing stretching ratio, the α-helix and the random coil Ala Cβ peaks decreased gradually, while the β-sheet peak was observed at a stretching ratio of ×5 and increased rapidly upon further stretching. For Ser residue, the α-helix peak decreased monotonically with increasing stretching ratio, but the random coil peak increased slightly till the stretching ratio of ×5 and then decreased. A small β-sheet peak was observed before stretching and then increased rapidly starting from the stretching ratio of ×7. In contrast, a gradual decrease of random coil peak and an increase of β-sheet peak were observed for the Tyr residue. The results of this investigation may be helpful for further studies of fiber formation mechanism in A. yamamai and in the future design of artificial silk materials.
