Self-assembly and Fibre Formation of Elastin-llke Polypeptides
Elastin is a polymeric protein of the extracellular matrix that imparts the characteristics of extensibility and elastic recoil to tissues. Recombinant polypeptides based on the domain structures and sequences of human elastin self-assemble into organized fibrous structures, with physical properties...
