Various approaches have been developed to exploit the functional properties of proteins and the structural properties of nanoscale materials. These range from biomolecule‐nanomaterial hybrids and biocatalytically‐generated self‐assembled amphiphiles to protein‐based structural templates. This commentary by Jonathan Dordick, discusses the article by Douglas Clark and colleagues, in which the authors report a study on the extremophilic protein γ‐prefoldin (γPFD).
