Please post links to relevant papers here with brief descriptions that explain why we should read them. Sign your name in case we have questions. I'll start us off with everything I've gotten by email so far.

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
