Protein-based biomaterials are becoming increasingly prevalent in biomedical applications that treat and prevent disease. This Perspective examines the evolution of techniques used to build and design these protein-based biomaterials, including fibres, nanoparticles and hydrogels, and explores how the field will be impacted by the newest tools in de novo protein design.
