The presence of proteinaceous beta-sheet rich fibrillar structures and amyloidogenic material, has been alluded to extensively in the literature, in association with natural materials exhibiting superior mechanical strength per unit volume. Here we provide a clear experimental demonstration and explanation for why individual amyloid quaternary structures themselves have beneficial mechanical characteristics.
