1. A marine coating composition comprising:
- a marine coating and a proteinaceous molecule, wherein the proteinaceous molecule comprises a metal binding sequence binding a metal ligand in a sufficient amount to inhibit the accumulation of biofouling on an inanimate surface coated with the marine coating composition; and
wherein the metal binding sequence comprises at least one member of the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos. 204-243 and 250-302 and functionally equivalent substituted metal binding amino acid sequences thereof.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are a materials such as a coating, an elastomer, an adhesive, a sealant, a textile finish, a wax, and a filler for such a material, wherein the material includes an proteinaceous molecule such as a peptide and/an enzyme that confer a metal binding, an anti-fouling and/or an antibiotic property to the material. In particular, disclosed herein are marine coatings such as a marine paint that comprise an anti-fouling peptide sequence that reversibly binds a metal cation that is toxic to a fouling organism. Also disclosed herein are methods of reducing fouling on a surface by treating the surface with a metal binding peptide.
