Antibacterial free-standing polysaccharide composite films inspired by the sea

The adhesive capabilities of marine mussel proteins are well-known, exhibiting the ability to stick to different underwater substrates, either inorganic or organic. These unique adhesive properties are due to the high levels of amino acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine (DOPA), which presents the rea...
