Abstract
Ali et al. performed variouschemical analyses including BAC, and found that the squidbeak consists of chitin, water, and DOPA-containing pro-teins. Although the exact role of DOPA-containing proteinshas not been elucidated, the identification of the specificprotein provided a meaningful insight to understand theextraordinary mechanical properties of squid beak. BAC hasbeen also utilized in the analysis of sandcastle worm’sunderwater adhesion.
