Molecular design of the alpha-keratin composite: insights from a matrix-free model, hagfish slime threads.

We performed mechanical tests on a matrix-free keratin model-hagfish slime threads-to test the hypothesis that intermediate filaments (IFs) in hydrated hard alpha-keratins are maintained in a partly dehydrated state. This hypothesis predicts that dry IFs should possess mechanical properties similar...
