By installing a biomimetic dityrosine bond in a covalent self‐assembly of short peptides, D.‐P. Kim et. al., as reported in their Communication on page 6925 ff., achieved the direct synthesis of fluorescent peptide hollow nanocages and free‐standing thin films without the aid of a template. The crosslinked peptide thin films exhibited superior mechanical and conformational durability compared to the noncovalent peptides.
