Modulation of hide protein resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis by calcium ions: rational design of enzyme-assisted unhairing for high-quality leather production

Abstract Enzymatic unhairing is an environmentally friendly and efficient method for leather processing. However, controlling protease hydrolysis remains challenging, leading to incomplete hair removal and potential grain damage. In modern leather manufacturing, the synergistic application of protea...
