© 1992 American Chemical Society. Received April 11, 1991. We thank Dr. Joseph Cappello of Protein Polymer Technologies, Inc., for the gift of p937.51 and for fruitful discussions regarding the gene construction described herein. Professor Brian Chait and Dr. Ronald Beavis of Rockefeller University provided mass spectra and insight into their interpretation. Dr. Harald Modler recorded the scattering pattern in Figure 6, Mr. Jeffrey Kollodge assisted in thermal analysis, and Professor E. D. T. Atkins of the University of Bristol has made many useful contributions to our thoughts regarding solid-state protein structure. This work was supported in part by the Center for University of Massachusetts-Industry Research on Polymers and in part by a grant from the Polymers and Genetics Programs of the National Science Foundation (NSF DMR 8914359). NMR and infrared spectra were recorded in the spectroscopy facility of the NSF Materials Research Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts. Registry No. 1, 137334-66-8.
