Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a collagen-related polypeptide (CRP) having hydrophobic amino acid groups at the N- and C-termini capable of non-covalent self-assembly into collagen mimetic triple helices and fibrils thereof and the synthesis, methods of use and compositions thereof. The present invention also relates to novel hemostatic foam substrates, a method of manufacturing the foam substrates, and a method of stimulating hemostasis in a mammal using such foam substrates.
