Adaptive hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions of mussel foot proteins with organic thin films
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Two popular perceptions about the much-mimicked adhesion of mussels are ( i ) the adhesion depends entirely on 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa) groups (benzene derivatives with two H-bonding prongs) and ( ii ) Dopa can stick to all surfaces. This study shows that both perceptions are incorrect: using three Dopa-containing mussel foot proteins (Mfps) on two chemically different self-assembled monolayers (SAM), we found the highest adhesion on the nonpolar (i.e., hydrophobic) SAMs was exhibited by the Mfp with the most hydrophobic side chains, not the most Dopa. Furthermore, increasing the spacing between the H-bond acceptors in the SAMs prevented the double-pronged H-bonding of Dopa side chains to polar SAMs. These findings clarify the roles of hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions in both biological and nonbiological adhesion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
