Cross-linking the protein precursor of marine mussel adhesives : bulk measurements and reagents for curing

Marine mussels affix themselves to surfaces by use of a highly cross-linked, protein-based adhesive. Metal levels (e.g., Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn) of the cured glue are significantly concentrated relative to surrounding waters. Specific details on the reagents used by mussels to induce protein cross-linking a...
