Why oysters clung to make?

Professor Jonathan Wilker (Purdue University, Indiana State, USA) and colleagues investigated the viscous substances of the boys and oysters after a diving expedition.
They found that saltwater mussels often cling tightly to objects such as rocks, boats and iron bridges with tiny glue fibers.
In a recently published work, Professor Jonathan Wilker has identified iron as an essential ingredient in this adhesive. He said: ' The mixture we get from boys or oysters is as strong as gelatin. When iron supplements, oyster or oyster proteins are interlinked, or 'vulcanized', and the material becomes extremely solid . '
Scientists still know that metal ions often play a role in binding proteins and creating stability for the complex, but this is the first time they have found a metal ion that is directly involved in the composition of a kind of biological material. The ' glue ' of mussels and oysters almost adheres to most materials, including TeflonTM - often used as an adhesive.
