Abstract: Sucker ring tooth (SRT) proteins called Suckerins were identified from the sucker tissue of three distantly related Decapodiformes species. These proteins assemble into silk-like beta-sheet reinforced materials. The use of suckerin proteins to produce fibres, films and tissue scaffolds is also described.
