An expression system for a chemically synthesized gene, encoding a model peptide of marine mussel adhesive protein, was constructed in Escherichia coli under regulation of the T7-promoter. The model peptide consisted of six repeats of the decapeptide AKPSYPPTYK. Although the product was expressed as
## Abstract The molecular complexity of the processes which lead to cell adhesion includes membrane and cytoskeletal proteins, involved in the focal adhesion formation, as well as signaling molecules tightly associated with the main intracellular regulatory cascades (Akt/PKB and MAPK/Erk). Dynamic
The effect of specific chemical functionalities on the adhesion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) under flow was investigated using a set of well-characterized, chemically functionalized surfaces prepared by selfassembly of alkanethiolate monolayers on gold surfaces. Terminal functionalities in
