1.        I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Protein
          Polymer Technologies, Inc.;

2.        Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
          fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
          circumstances under which such statements were made, not
          misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3.        Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
          financial information included in this report, fairly present in
          all material respects the financial condition, results of
          operations and cash flows of the small business issuer as of, and
          for, the periods presented in this report;

4.        The small business issuer's other certifying officer and I are
          responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls
          and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
          15d-15(e)) for the small business issuer and have:

     (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
          disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
          supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the small
          business issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made
          known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
          period in which this report is being prepared;

     (b)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's disclosure
          controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions
          about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as
          of the end of the period covered by this report based on such
          evaluation; and

     (c)  Disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuer's
          internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
          small business issuer's fourth fiscal quarter that has materially
          affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small
          business issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.        The small business issuer's other certifying officer and I have
          disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control
          over financial reporting, to the small business issuer's auditors and
          the audit committee of the small business issuer's board of directors
          (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

     (a)  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
          reasonably likely to adversely affect the small business issuer's
          ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
          information; and

     (b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant role in the small business issuer's
          internal control over financial reporting.
