Enzymatic Halogenation of Silk Fibroin from

Summary: Silk from silkworms is an amazing natural material used in medicine to help heal wounds and build new tissues. But sometimes, scientists need to tweak it to make it even better. Instead of using harsh, toxic chemicals, researchers are now using special proteins called enzymes to add natural elements (like salt components) to the silk. This process, called "halogenation," changes the silk's building blocks in a safe, eco-friendly way. It makes the silk stronger and better for creating medical tools, bandages, and artificial body parts!
