Protein disorder–order optimization and process tuneability. a, b Graphs showing the different levels of ELR order and disorder as a function of cross-linking. The levels of ELR ordered β-sheet structure and disordered random coil can be modulated and tuned, while maintaining β-turn and α-helix conformations nearly constant. c Table summarizing the tuneability of the process including during both ELR matrix assembly (Stage I) and the CaP nucleation and growth (Stage II). Scale bars: 3 µm (ELR spherulite morphology), 20 µm (apatite hierarchical structures), and 200 nm (nanocrystal density)
