RECENT PROGRESS AND APPLICATION OF NON-BIOACTIVE PROTEINS IN MATERIAL FIELDS
非生理活性蛋白质的研究进展及其在材料领域中的应用

As biomacromolecules,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,such as biophotonic devices,optofluidic devices,sensors,bio-integrated electronics,adhesives and superabsorbents,etc.
