Abstract
Wettability on substrates with low and high surface energies of synthetic marine and related adhesive proteins has been investigated to evaluate the role of individual amino acids together with their sequences in marine adhesive proteins. The surface chemical analyses suggest that marine adhesives have a meaningful primary structure adhering to substrates. The polysaccharide chitosan adhered faster than marine adhesive proteins in water. Biological adhesion of sperm cells from a goby fish on a glass plate exhibited marked adhesion activity due to the Lys residues in the precoated marine adhesive proteins.
