Hair Keratin Molecular Dynamics Studies

The study focused on the molecular dynamics of hair keratin, a crucial component of hair, nails, and skin, to better understand its properties and interactions. Despite the scarcity of full-length keratin crystallographic models, researchers developed computational models to simulate keratin's behavior. These simulations provided insights into the physicochemical properties of keratin and correlated well with experimental data, offering valuable molecular-level information that could aid in disease treatment and cosmetic product development.
