Diseases bring about the need for interventions that pinpoint each specific aspect of the illness. Commonly, remission of a complex disease is accomplished by mixing treatments, medications, and therapeutics together in a fashion where they may negatively interact with each other or never arrive at the diseased site as a systemic heterogeneous mixture. Chronic wounds display intricacy as they are very localized and have their own environment where tissue deconstruction due to high levels of numerous proteases outweighs normal tissue reconstruction. This idea leads to the necessity of a protein that contains low diffusivity rates for localized treatment, strength against high concentrations of proteolytic species that lead to degradation of short chain peptides, while encompassing broad inhibitory effects against multiple proteases. Elastin‐like peptides are an attractive, thermoresponsive, protein‐based drug delivery partner as they contain low diffusivity and serve as a stable architecture for short chain peptide fusion. In this project, a novel elastin‐like peptide‐based protein has been created to target the inhibition of both human neutrophil elastase and matrix metalloprotease‐2. As a biologic, this is unique as it is a protein with specific biological activities against multiple proteases, ultimately displaying the potential to mix and match differing biologically active peptides within one amino acid sequence.
