Engineering proteins of novel mechanical properties : from single molecule to biomaterials

Elastomeric proteins are an important class of mechanical proteins that take care of the strength, elasticity and extensibility of tissues and biological machineries. Elastomeric proteins are also essential building blocks of materials with outstanding mechanical properties. However, it was largely...
