The DN hydrogel exhibited fracture strengths as high as several tens of megapascals, i.e., up to ~100 kgf cm-2  which is almost equivalent to that of tendon. We also reported new-type of bio-machine reconstructed from the chemically cross-linked muscle protein: actin–myosin and microtubule-kinesin gels (Nanobiomachine) both fueled by an adenosine triphosphate(ATP). This might be the first man-made biomachine gels fueled by ATP, central interests of  life science now-a-days.
