Animals such as spiders make fibers which are strong and elastic. These fibers have a polypeptide structure and serve as inspiration for research into the development of functional materials.

Experiments on the primary structure of a histidine-rich polypeptide isolated from the malarial parasite Plasmodium lophurae indicate that the smaller quantities of amino acids other than histidine ...

In nature, there are animals that make fibers which are strong and elastic. For example, the thread that spiders produce to make webs. These fibers have a polypeptide structure and serve as ...
