Expression
Patent: Method of producing bioadhesive protein [http://www.google.com/patents?id=pLIgAAAAEBAJ&dq=5202236]. Making mussel proteins since 1990! ---Steve Kron
Patent: Bioadhesive precursor protein expression vectors [http://www.google.com/patents?id=U-kgAAAAEBAJ&dq=mussel+adhesive]. I swear these people just photocopied their application and mailed it out again. ---Steve Kron
Patent: Production of bioadhesive precursor protein analogs by genetically engineered organisms [http://www.google.com/patents?id=nrQcAAAAEBAJ&dq=mussel+adhesive]. New pictures this time. ---Steve Kron
Mgfp-5
Recombinant mussel adhesive protein Mgfp-5 as cell adhesion biomaterial [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6T3C-4KXDR0V-2/1/a80e68f3d0ada12719651719e1cc11ec]. Modified Mgfp-5 is better than Cell-Tak or poly-L-lysine; unmodified is about the same as Cell-Tak. It survives harsher washes on glass than BSA or Cell-Tak. ---Steve Kron
Practical recombinant hybrid mussel bioadhesive fp-151 [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TWB-4NMWRCS-F/1/9587d2845309a42beb00a6663a1b5085]. A recombinant fp-1/fp-5 fusion protein works in cell bioadhesion assays. 1g/L production and soluble. ---Steve Kron
