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 […]
