AB - Thermal property of the silk fibroin scaffolds has triggered rocketing  interest in tissue engineering because it affects greatly the scaffolds  reliability and efficiency. This paper suggests a promising method to  optimize the scaffolds by a tyrosinase-catalyzed self-cross-linking  reaction, the effects of tyrosinase concentrations on scaffolds thermal and  physical properties are studied experimentally. The enzymatic cross-linking  offers a new and promising angle for preparation of SF materials.
