Pezhman Mohammadi et al. report the design of spidroin-inspired engineered proteins that separate from solution into coacervates with distinct properties depending on protein or salt concentration. These coacervates serve as intermediate assembly steps for self-fusing, adhesive fibers with useful biomechanical properties.
