Hair and wool keratin fibers which had been treated with an 11 M LiBr solution containing N-ethyl maleimide showed typical rubberlike elasticity in a solution composed of equal volumes of 8 M LiBr and diethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether. Stress-strain curves and equilibrium force-temperature relati

The claw of lizards is largely composed of beta-keratins, also referred to as keratin-associated betaproteins. Recently, we have reported that the genome of the lizard Anolis carolinensis contains alpha keratin genes homologous to hair keratins typical of hairs and claws of mammals. Molecular and im
The reversibility of the thermal denaturation of a low-sulfur fraction of solubilized wool keratin (SCMKA) has been studied under a variety of conditions of time, protein concentration, and pH. Two types of irreversibility for the transition have been encountered. One of these is associated with an
