Chemical structure of a Dopa-rich mussel foot protein (mfp). Shown is mefp-3 (variant f) sequence from Mytilus edulis. The protein functions at the interface between the plaque and the substratum. Dopa residues are highlighted in red; the sequence contains nearly as many guanidinium groups (4-hydroxyarginines; purple) as Dopa residues. Results from Papov et al. (26).
