Byssus fibres are tough biopolymer fibres produced by mussels to attach themselves to
rocks. Byssus fibres have been extensively studied, mainly due to two remarkable …

The complementary DNA encoding the byssal plaque matrix protein (fp-2) of the mussel

Limiting the non-specific adsorption of proteins and cells, or biofouling, of surfaces is critical
for the success of many current and future biomaterials technologies. The most common …

Mussels, marine organisms, attach to underwater surfaces by making a byssus, which is an
extracorporeal bundle of tiny tendons attached distally to a foreign surface and proximally by …

Marine-fouling invertebrates (eg, mussel, barnacle, sandcastle worm, hydroid, and sea star)
form a strong attachment to the marine substratum against mechanical stresses arising from …

A huge number of organisms, at least during part of their life cycle, benefit from habitation at
interfaces and have developed particular means to hold themselves at the interface. Sessile …

Mussel adhesive protein (MAP) was extracted from Korean Mytilus edulis and then partially
purified using Sephacryl S-300 gel permeation chromatography and reversed-phase high …
