Revisiting the adhesion mechanism of mussel-inspired chemistry

Chao Zhang et al.

Summary: This study reveals a previously unexplored adhesion mechanism in mussel-inspired chemistry, where 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) moieties play a crucial role, challenging the conventional belief of catechol-dominated adhesion.
