Nature has long used peptide-and protein-based manufacturing to create structures whose
remarkable mechanical, transport, optical, and even magnetic properties are determined by …

Nature endows life with a wide variety of sophisticated, synergistic, and highly functional
protein assemblies. Following Nature's inspiration to assemble protein building blocks into …

Designing peptides that fold and assemble in response to metal ions tests our
understanding of how peptide folding and metal binding influence one another. Here …

Proteins play an essential role in biology. Whether it is in catalysis or molecular recognition,
proteins set a golden standard of efficiency and selectivity that few other natural or artificial …

Nature is enriched with a wide variety of complex, synergistic, and highly functional protein-
based multicomponent assemblies. As such, nature has served as a source of inspiration for …

Nanostructured protein materials show exciting biomedical applications, since both structure
and function can be genetically programmed. In particular, self-assembling histidine-rich …

Self‐assembly of highly important biomolecules, such as proteins and peptides, has
attracted tremendous interest in supramolecular construction of functional materials …

We describe the metal-dependent self-assembly of symmetrical protein homooligomers from
protein building blocks that feature appropriately engineered metal-chelating motifs on their …

Histidine, a versatile proteinogenic amino acid, plays a broad range of roles in all living
organisms and behaves as a key mediator of the interactions of biomolecules with inorganic …

Nature has evolved an optimal synthetic factory in the form of translational and
posttranslational processes by which millions of proteins with defined primary sequences …
