The BiGlu project focuses on the structure of mussel proteins and seeking ways to mimic the properties with cheap raw materials. The catechol-motif of the amino acid L-DOPA, which is a post-expression functionalized amino acid rooting from Tyrosine, occurs in the sticky parts of these proteins in high amount (up to 30% of all amino acids in the sequence). Thus this project focuses on development of polymers with a catechol motif which stems from cheap chemicals and the analysis of the cohesion and adhesion on different materials.
