Neto, Ana I.; Cibrão, Ana; Correia, Clara R.; Carvalho, Rita R.; Luz, Gisela; Ferrer, Glória G.; Botelho, Gabriela; Picart, Catherine; Alves, N. M.In a marine environment, specific proteins are secreted by mussels and used as a bioglue to stick to a surface. These mussel proteins present an unusual amino acid 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (known as DOPA). The outstanding adhesive properties of these materials in the sea harsh conditions have been attributed to the presence of the catechol groups present in DOPA. Inspired by the structure and composition of t...

Neto, Ana I.; Cibrão, Ana; Correia, Clara R.; Luz, Gisela; Ferrer, Glória G.; Botelho, Gabriela; Picart, C.; Alves, N. M.; Mano, J. F.Publicado em "Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine", vol. 7, supp. 1 (2013) ; Some marine species, such as mussels, can strongly attach themselves to rocks in the diffficult conditions of the sea. In fact, marine mussels secrete adhesive proteins that show a high adhesion to both inorganic and organic surfaces in aqueous environments. These proteins have an amino acid designated as 3,4-dihyd...
