  • De novo structural protein design for manufacturing high strength materials
    Patent number: 10246493
    Abstract: Provided is a supramolecular polypeptide comprising alternating repeats of crystallite-forming subsequences and amorphous subsequences. The crystallite-forming subsequences form crystallites comprising stacks of one or more ?-sheets and the amorphous subsequences form a network of hydrogen bonds. The supramolecular polypeptides are capable of exhibiting self-healing behavior.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2019
    Assignee: The Penn State Research Foundation
    Inventors: Melik Demirel, Benjamin Allen, Huihun Jung
