Marine Antifouling Peptide to Prevent Biofouling
Biotechnology, Sustainable Environment
This synthetic conopeptide analog, named Miata57, to the noradrenaline (NA) molecule enables antifouling action. This analog could potentially be manufactured and incorporated into commercial epoxy based paints and coatings to deter fouling marine invertebrates from settling, thus preventing biofouling.Inventor: Andrew Mount, Mary Beth Johnstone, Bin Chan
