Molecular design principles of Lysine-DOPA wet adhesion

Synergistic amino-catechol adhesives have attracted attention; however the topological relationship is still poorly understood. Here, the authors report on a study into the adhesion of a library of DOPA-lysine peptides to organic and inorganic surfaces and demonstrate the effects of spacers for ener...
