Abstract:
Provided is a supramolecular polypeptide comprising alternating repeats of crystallite-forming subsequences and amorphous subsequences. The crystallite-forming subsequences form crystallites comprising stacks of one or more β-sheets and the amorphous subsequences form a network of hydrogen bonds. The supramolecular polypeptides are capable of exhibiting self-healing behavior.
