Current Progress and Biotechnological Applications of Microbial Keratinases

Keratin is a fibrous and recalcitrant protein found in feathers, nails, horns, hooves, and the epidermis of the skin. The presence of the high degree of disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, and hydrophobic interactions makes them resistant to mechanical stress and are not degraded by common proteases su...
