Abstract
The present invention provides a protein polymer material and a method for preparing the protein polymer material involving applying an energy such as electrical energy or gravitational energy to a protein to cause the protein to assemble in a controlled arrangement. The protein used in this method may be any suitable fibrillar protein capable of self-assembling.
