    Abstract: A new peptide is not connected in a natural manner with an external hydrophobin and has a contact angle of at least 20[deg] during coating of the glass surface. The structural formula of a new polypeptide is: X n-C 1>-X 1-50-C 2>-X 0-50-C 3>-X 1-100-C 4>-X 1-100-C 5>-X 1-50-C 6>-X 0-5-C 7>-X 1-50-C 8>-X m, where X : amino acids; n,m : 0 - 500 and; C : cysteine. The proviso is that at least one of the peptide sequences abbreviated by X n or X m is a peptide sequence of at least 20 amino acids in length. The peptide is not connected in a natural manner with an external hydrophobin and has a contact angle of at least 20[deg] during coating of a glass surface. Independent claims are included for: (1) nucleic acid coding for polypeptide; and (2) procedure of polypeptide production by expressing the above nucleic acid in a host organism and isolating the obtained protein.
