Modulating water-responsive actuation energy of regenerated silk fibroin via tyrosine modification

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

. FTIR spectroscopy showed the modification results in a higher proportion of mobile water, suggesting that water-responsive performance of regenerated silk is highly sensitive to the properties of confined water and that tyrosine residue modification could serve as a scalable method for developing silk-based WR actuators.
