<br/>Nature has evolved biopolymers with distinct sequences and folding into precise 3D structures that represent the blueprint of cellular life. These polymers could serve as templates or catalysts for the preparation of novel synthetic polymeric materials having different shapes and functions. In addition, light is used as a stimulus to write polydopamine nanostructures on origami surfaces, greatly enhancing the stability of DNA origami.<br/>Proteins are introduced as biotemplates in both their native globular" and denatured "linearized" forms. In this way, polymer brushes were made from proteins and synthetic polymers that offer high aspect ratios, different contour lengths, and a single functionality attached to the main chain. These new bio-hybrid structures combine many attractive features such as high structural definition and functionalities at distinct sites making them attractive as multifunctional drug transporters.
