Molecular mechanism of barnacle adhesion : a structural approach and underlying biochemistry
Barnacles adhere themselves robustly and permanently to diverse underwater substrates through strong interactions of a multi-protein complex layer called the “cement”. However, the intermolecular interactions responsible for the strong adhesive properties of the barnacle cement remains poorly unders...
