Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are macromolecular biopolymers composed of natural amino acids. ELPs can be prepared by genetic engineering so that their amino acid sequences and molecular weight can be precisely manipulated. Moreover, therapeutic peptides and pharmacological agents can be inserted...
