Methods and systems for creating a genetic construct, a protein, and a polymer comprising a domain swapping module. A domain swapping module is a fusion protein in which a lever protein, which has a long amino (N) to carboxy (C) terminal distance, is inserted into a surface loop of an assembler protein, thereby stretching the assembler protein and splitting it into two fragments held apart by the lever so that they cannot rejoin. If the assembler protein is split at the proper location, the fragments will recombine with their respective counterparts from either one or more different—but similarly-split—assembler proteins. |
