This study is the first to report on the fabrication and properties of electrospun scaffolds derived from separated light-chain fibroin and heavy-chain fibroin, two major proteins of silk fibroin. Among seven different extraction conditions, which were commonly used to extract fibroin from cocoons of Bombyx mori, only Ajisawa’s reagent and 9Mlithium thiocyanate could extract both heavy-chain fibroin and lightchain fibroin, while the other conditions could yield only the light-chain fibroin. Mixed fibroin, light-chain fibroin, and heavy-chain fibroin were fabricated using electrospinning methods. Average diameters of the fibers were 658±208, 517±162, and 518±171 nm, respectively and their sizes after treatment with 50% methanol for 60 min were slightly increased to 747±244, 556±164 and 521±201 nm, respectively. FTIR spectra showed similar predominant -sheet conformation of mixed fibroin and heavy-chain fibroin scaffolds after treated with methanol, whereas the predominant structure of light-chain fibroin was random coil conformation. Although, scaffolds derived from mixed fibroin and heavy-chain fibroin showed similar properties, the light-chain fibroin scaffold clearly exhibited different properties, including more hydrophilic character, water uptake ability, degradation rate, and cell adhesion capability.
