Squid suckerin biomimetic peptides form amyloid-like crystals with robust mechanical properties

We present the self-assembly of fibers formed from a peptide sequence (A1H1) derived from suckerin proteins of squid sucker ring teeth (SRT). SRT are protein-only biopolymers with an unconventional set of physicochemical and mechanical properties including high elastic modulus coupled with thermopla...
