  • Protein-based adhesives
    Patent number: 10351743
    Abstract: Protein-based adhesives. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, an elastin-like polypeptide has a sequence LDGTL-(PGX1GVPGKGVPGX2GVPGX1GVPGX3GVPGX2GV)n-PVADRGMRLE, wherein each X1 is selected from the group consisting of tyrosine (Y), dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), and 3,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine (TOPA), wherein each X2 is selected from the group consisting of valine (V), Y, DOPA, and TOPA, wherein each X3 is selected from the group consisting of glutamic acid (E) and lysine (K), and wherein n is at or between 6 and 10 or higher or lower.
