Squid ring teeth complex extracted from Loligo vulgaris shows reversible solid to melt phase transition on page 7401. M. C. Demirel and team show how the direct extraction or recombinant expression of protein based thermoplastics opens up new avenues for materials fabrication and synthesis, which will eventually be competitive with the high‐end synthetic oil based plastics.
