Mussel-glue Derived Peptide-polymer Conjugates for Enzyme-activated Antifouling Coatings

- Aug 18, 2012


Technical Paper - Enzyme-activated polymer coatings based on peptide–polymer conjugates are described. Tyrosinase is used to “switch on” adhesive functions of a mussel-glue derived peptide segment, leading to bioconjugates that adhere to steel. The coating resists seawater treatments and modulates surface properties to antifouling surfaces by strongly reducing protein adsorption.
