Complex coacervates of oppositely charged co-polypeptides inspired by the sandcastle worm glue

Sandcastle worms secrete a water-resistant proteinaceous glue that is used to bind mineral particulates into their protective tubing. Previous proteomics studies have shown that the constitutive proteins of the glue are oppositely charged co-polypeptides that form a complex coacervate precursor phas...
