Nature exquisitely assembles proteins and peptides into highly ordered functional materials,such as those critical for bone formation. These natural materials inspire researchers to innovate approaches to imitate nature for a range of potential biomedical applications. Recently Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) -led materials scientists assembled networks of highly ordered synthetic protein-like polymers (peptoids) on a flat surface, marking a major breakthrough in biomimetic coatings.
