Sticky organisms create underwater biological adhesives driven by interactions between EGF- and GlcNAc- containing polysaccharides
Abstract Marine and terrestrial organisms often utilise EGF/EGF-like domains in wet adhesives, yet their roles in adhesion remain unclear. Here, we investigate the Barbatia virescense byssal system and uncover an oxidation-independent, reversible, and robust adhesion mechanism where EGF/EGF-like dom...
