Protein-based bioadhesives are found in diverse marine invertebrates that developed
attachment devices to adhere to various substrates. These adhesives are of interest to …

There are many naturally occurring adhesive proteins which have potential for application in
medicine and dentistry. Cloning and expression of their genes enables the modes of action …

A new biomimetic strategy for modification of biomaterial surfaces with poly (ethylene
glycol)(PEG) was developed. The strategy exploits the adhesive characteristics of 3, 4 …

Sea stars adhere to various underwater substrata using an efficient protein-based adhesive
secretion. The protein Sfp1 is a major component of this secretion. In the natural glue, it is …

Marine mussels and barnacles attach themselves to surfaces by depositing mixtures of
proteins and then cross-linking these polymers for curing of their adhesive. Obtaining large …

Wettability on substrates with low and high surface energies using synthetic marine
adhesive proteins and related model compounds containing Lys has been investigated to …

An adhesive protein isolated from the marine mussel Mytilus edulis has been adsorbed to
highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and enzymatically oxidized to yield a sclerotized film that is …

The adhesive proteins secreted by marine mussels form a natural glue that cures rapidly to
form strong and durable bonds in aqueous environments. These mussel adhesive proteins …

Surface adhesion in nature has been the focus of intense study over the past few years.
Nevertheless, research in this field has primarily concentrated on understanding the …

The use of molecular biology tools in the field of bioadhesion is still in its infancy. For new
research groups who are considering taking a molecular approach, the techniques …
