  • Bioadhesive precursor protein expression vectors
    Patent number: 5202256
    Abstract: Vectors are provided that are capable of expressing, in microbial transformants, a protein having the native amino acid sequence of a bioadhesive precursor protein of a marine animal selected from the group consisting of mussels, barnacles, and oysters. The bioadhesive precursor protein can be expressed in transformants, recovered and converted to a bioadhesive protein by hydroxylation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 1991
