  • Adhesive DOPA-containing polymers and related methods of use
    Publication number: 20030087338
    Abstract: 3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (DOPA) is an unusual amino acid found in mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs) that form tenacious bonds to various substrates under water. DOPA is believed to be responsible for the adhesive characteristics of MAPs. This invention relates to a route for the conjugation of DOPA moieties to various polymeric systems, including but not limited to poly(ethylene glycol) or poly(alkylene oxide) systems such as poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) block copolymers.
