Modelling the self-assembly of elastomeric proteins provides insights into the evolution of their domain architectures.
Elastomeric proteins have evolved independently multiple times through evolution. Produced as monomers, they self-assemble into polymeric structures that impart properties of stretch and recoil. They are composed of an alternating domain architecture of elastomeric domains interspersed with cross-li...
