The CSIRO Silks group is primarily interested in using proteins as polymers for rational design. Naturally occurring structural proteins are ‘information-rich’ molecules. Based on the precedent set by nature, these structural proteins provide a rich landscape for the rational design of advanced functional materials. Advances in molecular biology make it possible to readily modify the primary sequence of recombinant proteins allowing the design of advanced materials.
