It's the way that you do it: Block polymers composed of elastin (E) and COMPcc (C) domains (see figure) have been synthesised and characterised. The protein motifs were chosen for their structures and distinct self‐assembly modes. We demonstrate that the micro‐ and macrostructures of the polymers are dictated by the orientation of the fusions and the number of repeated blocks.
