## Abstract Natural materials, such as bone and spider silk, possess remarkable properties as a result of sophisticated nanoscale structuring. They have inspired the design of synthetic materials whose structure at the nanoscale is carefully engineered or where nanoparticles, such as rods or wires,
Artificial particulate systems such as polymeric beads and liposomes are being applied in drug delivery, drug targeting, antigen display, vaccination, and other technologies. Here we used computer modeling to design a novel type of nanoparticles composed of peptides as building blocks. We verified t
