Outside Back Cover: Modular Assembly of Dynamic Polymer Networks From Heteroaffinity Cross‐Links to Multivalent Proteins

Temporary cross-linking can turn biomolecular building blocks into dynamic, water-compatible networks. In article number e26058, Colin D. Kinz-Thompson and co-workers show the repurposing of a protein's binding interaction to create bifunctional cross-linkers and make such networks from streptavidin. These networks exhibit complex architectures subject to both kinetic and thermodynamic control and can even be controlled by the environmental pH and magnets.
