RECENT PROGRESS AND APPLICATION OF NON-BIOACTIVE PROTEINS IN MATERIAL FIELDS[J]. Acta Polymerica Sinica, 2011,(1):12-23. DOI: 10.3724/SP.J.1105.2011.10247.
non-bioactive proteins have been used with a history of more than millenaries
sharing the merits of abundant source supply
environmental-friendly
reproducible
biodegradable
biocompatible and facile morphological plasticity etc.In this paper
three of the most abundant non-bioactive proteins in nature
collagen
fibrion and soy protein are introduced.The review focuses on the structure of the proteins as well as the recent achievements of their applications in material fields
especially
as carrier for drug delivery and scaffold for tissue engineering
with the scope expanding to bio-related interdisciplines
