The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to a composition comprising a biomaterial. A biomaterial may comprise, for example, one or more molecules capable of self-association and/or self-assembly. In some embodiments, a biomaterial may comprise one or more polypeptides and/or proteins. A biomaterial may comprise, for example, two or more self-assembled Ultrabithorax (Ubx) protein molecules. A Ubx protein, in some embodiments, may be any wild type Drosophila melanogaster Ultrabithorax protein, including any natural or non-natural isoforms (e.g., alternative splicing isoforms). The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to a method of making a biomaterial comprising contacting two or more Ubx protein molecules under conditions that permit self-assembly to form a first fibril and contacting the first fibril to a second fibril.
