Mussel protein adhesion depends on interprotein thiol-mediated redox modulation
TL;DR: Mussel adhesion is mediated by foot proteins rich in a catecholic amino acid, 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, capable of forming strong bidentate interactions with a variety of surfaces, which restores dopa by coupling the oxidation of thiols to dopaquinone reduction.
Adhesion of mussel foot proteins to different substrate surfaces
TL;DR: The results indicate that the adhesion ofMussel foot proteins was exquisitely dependent on the mfp tested, the substrate surface chemistry and the contact time.

TL;DR: This study shows that using three Dopa-containing mussel foot proteins (Mfps) on two chemically different self-assembled monolayers (SAM), the highest adhesion on the nonpolar SAMs was exhibited by the Mfp with the most hydrophobic side chains, not the most Dopa, and clarifies the roles of hydrophobia and hydrophilic interactions in both biological and nonbiological adhesion.
Adhesion of mussel foot protein Mefp-5 to mica: an underwater superglue.

TL;DR: Using the surface forces apparatus, it is shown that on mica surfaces Mefp-5 achieves an adhesion energy approaching E(ad) = ~-14 mJ/m(2) and is greater than the adhesion between highly oriented monolayers of biotin and streptavidin.

Effects of interfacial redox in mussel adhesive protein films on mica.
TL;DR: Using a surface force apparatus, the effect of interfacial redox in mussel adhesive protein-3 (MFP-3) films on mica was tested and results show that the adhesion properties of Mfp-3 are closely coupled to the redox state of Dopa.
