Mussel adhesion is dictated by time-regulated secretion and molecular conformation of mussel adhesive proteins.

abstract：:We propose the concept of universal fiducials based on a set of pre-made semi-synthetic antibodies (sABs) generated by customized phage display selections against the fusion protein BRIL, an engineered variant of apocytochrome b562a. These sABs can bind to BRIL fused either into the loops or termini of different GPCRs...
