  • Conotoxin peptides for use in biofouling deterrence
    Patent number: 10865316
    Abstract: Materials and methods for prevention of biofouling that incorporate the presence of a conotoxin peptide on a surface are described. The conotoxin peptide is either directly or indirectly adhered to the surface and interferes with the ability of biofouling organisms to settle on the surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 15, 2019
    Date of Patent: December 15, 2020
    Assignee: Clemson University Research Foundation
    Inventors: Andrew Mount, Bin San Chan, Mary Beth Johnstone
