Abstract
Abstract Methods are described for the preparation and isolation of novel decapeptides of the formula: ##STR1## wherein each X is independently selected from the group comprising hydroxyl and hydrogen, wherein each R is independently selected from the group comprising hydrogen and methyl, from bioadhesive polyphenolic proteins which comprise: ##STR2## wherein n is a whole number from about 60 to about 100, wherein each X is independently selected from the group comprising hydroxyl and hydrogen, and wherein each R is independently sselected from the group comprising hydrogen and methyl. Such decapeptides may be used to construct large polyphenolic molecules comprising from about 1 to about 1000 decapeptide repeating units and wherein the linking group is selected from the group comprising amino acid, oligopeptide and bifunctional spacer.

Claim 5
Independent Claim
97 words
A method for the preparation of polyphenolic molecules consisting of from about 1 to about 1000 repeating decapeptide units, which method comprises the step of reacting decapeptides of the formula: ##STR11## wherein each X is independently selected from the group comprising hydroxyl and hydrogen, and wherein each R is independently selected from the group comprising hydrogen and methyl, with a linking group which is selected from the group comprising amino acid, oligopeptide, and bifunctional spacer, in a neutral or slightly basic buffer, at a temperature, and for a period of time until the reaction is substantially complete.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
97 words
A method for the preparation of polyphenolic molecules consisting of from about 1 to about 1000 repeating decapeptide units, which method comprises the step of reacting decapeptides of the formula: ##STR11## wherein each X is independently selected from the group comprising hydroxyl and hydrogen, and wherein each R is independently selected from the group comprising hydrogen and methyl, with a linking group which is selected from the group comprising amino acid, oligopeptide, and bifunctional spacer, in a neutral or slightly basic buffer, at a temperature, and for a period of time until the reaction is substantially complete.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
Polyphenolic molecules which comprise from about 1 to about 1000 repeating units of the formula: ##STR12## wherein each X is independently selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl and hydrogen and wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl, and wherein the repeating units are linked.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
52 words
Polyphenolic molecules which comprise from about 1 to about 1000 repeating units of the formula: ##STR12## wherein each X is independently selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl and hydrogen and wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl, and wherein the repeating units are linked.
