N2 - We describe the biosynthesis and characterization of protein materials comprised of two distinct self-assembling domains (SADs): elastin (E) found in tissue for its elastic properties and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein coiled-coil (COMPcc, C) predominantly located in joint and in bones. Based on earlier studies on protein block polymers comprised these two SADs, orientation and number of blocks play a crucial role in the overall stimuli-responsive supramolecular assembly behavior. Here we fabricate a range of E nC and CE n block polymers in which the E domain is systematically truncated to explore the effects of the E domain on the overall physicochemical behavior.
