ABSTRACT:
A peptide of the formula: ##STR1## wherein each substituent X is independently a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group, each substituent R is a methylethyl, 1-methylpropyl, or 2-methylpropyl group, so that the penultimate group from the C-terminal of each of the n units is a valine, isoleucine, or leucine, and n is an integer of from 1 to about 1000, can be produced from mussels. This peptide is useful as an adhesive.
