Recent advances in protein design have enabled the construction of higher-order structures, however, the assembly of diverse protein units into cohesive artificial structures akin to biological assembly systems, especially in tubular forms, remains elusive. Here, the authors report a method employing two distinct protein units to create tubular structures which demonstrate dynamic flexibility and reversible assembly similar to that of the cytoskeleton.
