Improving the lubricity of commercial mucins <i>via</i> conjugation with catechol-like molecules
Commercial mucins suffer from structural damage during their purification, thus their lubricity is compromised. Catechol conjugation can improve their lubricity on hydrophobic and hydrophilic substrates, and prevent wear formation on cartilage.
