In addition, it is expected that synthesizing these new polypeptide fibers using plant-derived amino acid as a starter will enable the development of next-generation biomaterials that meet the needs ...

Animals such as spiders make fibers which are strong and elastic. These fibers have a polypeptide structure and serve as inspiration for research into the development of functional materials.

Synthetic polypeptides constitute a class of biomimetic polymers assembled from amino acid monomers, designed to emulate the structural and functional complexity of natural proteins. Advances in ...
