Popis: Although assembly of recombinant proteins by SpyTag/SpyCatcher chemistry has proven to be a versatile approach for creating bioactive hydrogels, the resulting Spy networks often exhibit weak mechanics due to the poor efficiency of interchain cross-linking. Here we leverage metal/ligand (i.e., cobalt/His6-tag) coordination interactions to modulate the bulk mechanics of the protein networks. The drastic difference between the Co
