Elastic proteins occur in a diverse range of biological systems, including mammalian muscles and connective tissues, arthropods (insects and spiders), molluscs and wheat grain. The structures and elastomeric mechanisms of these proteins are compared in relation to their biological roles and potential for exploitation.
