5 / 621 resultsresearch Structure and Mechanical Properties of Human Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filament Protein
This study found that disulfide bonds in keratin increase its strength and toughness, with some loss of α-helical structure under load, highlighting their role in trichocyte α-keratin's mechanical properties.
research Mechanistic Aspects of African Hair Relaxation
This study found that the primary mechanism behind hair relaxation in Afro-hair is the alkali-induced denaturation of helical filaments, leading to spontaneous straightening.
research Thermal and mechanical transitions in keratins and their relevance for hair cosmetics
This study found that keratin fibers like human hair undergo thermal and mechanical transitions that can help assess changes from cosmetic processes such as bleaching and perm-waving.
research cDNA Cloning, Expression, and Assembly Characteristics of Mouse Keratin 16
This study found that the unique functions of keratin 16 are likely determined by its tail domain, challenging the previous hypothesis about the role of the helix 1B subdomain.
