Understanding the biochemical properties of human hair keratins : self-assembly potential and cell response
Keratin is a class of cysteine rich intermediate filament (IF) proteins, existing in abundance and readily available in bio-wastes such as human hair. A total of 17 keratin types are present in human hair, which can be further classified as Type I and II keratin subtypes. They associate in 1:1 ratio...
