title: Nanostructured biofilms and biocrystals.
abstract: The design, the physical properties and the implementation of nanostructured protein biofilms and nanostructured biocrystals are here summarized from ab initio considerations. Particular emphasis is placed on those being developed in our Institute having unique properties useful in a wide range of applications.
