THE SPECIFICITY OF KERATINS [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1939
Kerateine and metakeratin were prepared from wool, chicken feathers and human hair. Chemical analyses revealed that the compounds are closely related. The results of serological studies disclose that species specificity is an individual characteristic of the keratins employed and that the specificity observed is dependent on the redox ...

How keratin cortex thickness affects iridescent feather colours

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
The bright, saturated iridescent colours of feathers are commonly produced by single and multi-layers of nanostructured melanin granules (melanosomes), air and keratin matrices, surrounded by an outer keratin cortex of varying thicknesses.
