title: Fibrous proteins in medical technology.
abstract: As many sectors of medical technology move away from traditional metals and plastics towards more sophisticated materials derived from supramolecular chemistry, some of the principles developed by nature's best engineering materials are being borrowed. Discussed here are the structural characteristics of fibrous proteins.
