Proteins that self-assemble into polyhedral shell-like structures are useful molecular
containers both in nature and in the laboratory. Here we review efforts to repurpose diverse …

Hierarchical materials that exhibit order over multiple length scales are ubiquitous in nature.
Because hierarchy gives rise to unique properties and functions, many have sought …

Assembly ubiquitously occurs in nature and gives birth to numerous functional biomaterials
and sophisticated organisms. In this work, chiral hydrogen-bonded organic-inorganic …

As a result of evolutionary selection, the subunits of naturally occurring protein assemblies
often fit together with substantial shape complementarity to generate architectures optimal …

Protein crystallization plays a central role in structural biology. Despite this, the process of
crystallization remains poorly understood and highly empirical, with crystal contacts, lattice …

Stimuli‐responsive nanoparticle (NP) aggregation plays an increasingly important role in
regulating NP assembly into microscopic superstructures, macroscopic 2D, and 3D …

Protein-based bioactive coatings have emerged as a versatile and promising strategy for
enhancing the performance and biocompatibility of diverse biomedical materials and …

Inspired by natural hierarchical self-assembly of proteins and peptides, amino acids, as the
basic building units, have been shown to self-assemble to form highly ordered structures …

In the last decades, adhesives derived from natural resources (ie, bioadhesives) have
emerged as promising alternative to the standard wound closure devices, including sutures …

While the primary use of protein crystals has historically been in crystallographic structure
determination, they have recently emerged as promising materials with many advantageous …
