Direct Observation of the Interplay of Catechol Binding and Polymer Hydrophobicity in a Mussel-Inspired Elastomeric Adhesive

[Image: see text] Marine organisms such as mussels have mastered the challenges in underwater adhesion by incorporating post-translationally modified amino acids like l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) in adhesive proteins. Here we designed a catechol containing elastomer adhesive to identify the r...
