Silk can be produced by spider or insect and have prospect as biomaterial for regenerative healing in medical treatment. Silk having physical and chemical properties that support biocompatibility in the living things..In this research, silk that was obtained from Indonesia natural resource of Attacus atlas silkmoth was explored and then will be  developed for biocompatible biomaterial. The treatment with NaOH was developed to separate the fiber from the cocoon. The obtained fiber is investigated its mechanical property by performing tensile test for single fiber. The biocompatibility testing was conducted with human cell (osteosarccoma) cultivation. The result identify that separation by using NaOH yield better better mechanical properties comparing konvenstional method with boiling in hot water. Biocompatibility testing indicate that the the fiber having good biocompatibility.


A so far unknown chlorophyll has been isolated from several strains of brown-coloured chlorobacteria and has been designated bacteriochlorophyll e . Comparison of the physical and chemical properties of the new chlorophyll with those of bacteriochlorophylls c and d ( Chlorbium chlorophylls) allows one to deduce its structural formula. The stereochemistry of the hydroxyethyl side chain of bacteriochlorophylls c, d and e can be determined by a modified Horeau analysis of these pigments, and the results thus obtained are in agreement with those derived from oxidative degradation experiments. The latter method allows one furthermore to prove the structure of bacteriochlorophylls c and d proposed by Holt, and to establish the absolute configuration at carbon atoms 7 and 8. The presence of a δ-methylsubstituent in bacteriochlorophylls c and e is unambiguously demonstrated by nuclear magnetic resonance.

The emergence of nanoparticles (NPs) has opened new opportunities in analytical chemistry [. These NPs exhibit different properties and functionalities when compared to monometallic particles. In particular, they show enhanced selectivity and reactivity when used as catalysts and sensors [2-. The NPs have large surface area, high surface free energy, good biocompatibility and suitability, and it has been used in constructing electrochemical biosensors [7, . The fascinating physical and chemical properties of NPs offer excellent prospects for a wide range of bio sensing applications [ . Uric acid (UA) is the principal final product of purine metabolism in the human body [1. It has been shown that extreme abnormalities of UA levels are symptoms of several diseases (e.g. gout, hyper uricaemia and LeschNyhan syndrome)[11,1.In general, electro active UA can be irreversibly oxidized in aqueous solution and the major product is allantoin [1. In continuation of our interest with the bimetal nanoparticle (BNP) sensing here in this study, we employed Ag/Pt BNPs for detecting of UA.

Collagen-based constructs have emerged in recent years as ideal candidates for tissue engineering implants. For many biomedical applications, collagen is crosslinked in order to improve the strength, stiffness and stability of the construct. However, the crosslinking process may also result in unintended changes to cell viability, adhesion or proliferation on the treated structures. This review provides a brief overview of some of both the most commonly used and novel crosslinkers used with collagen, and suggests a framework by which crosslinking methods can be compared and selected for a given tissue engineering application.

A cationic Gemini surfactant ethane-1, 2-bis (Cetyl dimethyl brominated ammonium), denoted 16-2-16 was synthesized from ethane and Hexadecyl dimethyl amine. The properties of the product were characterized, and the physical and chemical properties were determined. The results showed that the synthetic product was the target product, and its surface tension was 3.4×10-4N/m, and the CMC was 2.2×10-4mol/L at 25°C. At the same time, its synergistic effect with common surfactants was studied; the results showed that the synthetic product had good synergic effect.
