Abstract:
The claimed invention provides a fusion polypeptide comprising a fibrous protein domain and a mineralization domain. The fusion is used to form an organic-inorganic composite. These organic-inorganic composites can be constructed from the nano- to the macro-scale depending on the size of the fibrous protein domain used. The composites can also be loaded with other compounds (e.g. dyes, drugs, enzymes) depending on the goal for the materials, to further enhance function. This can be achieved during assembly of the materials or during the mineralization step in materials formation.
