Structure and functions of keratin proteins in simple, stratified, keratinized and cornified epithelia (2009, methodology): “Keratins and keratin filaments are quite resistant to cleavage by common proteolytic enzymes (e.g. trypsin and pepsin) due to their stabilization by numerous cross-linking disulfide bonds (Gupta & Ramnani, 2006).”
Degradation of feather waste by Aspergillus niger keratinases: Comparison of submerged and solid-state fermentation (2013, background): “Keratin is an insoluble structural protein resistant to hydrolysis by common proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin, pepsin, and papain (Gupta and Ramnani, 2006).”
Potential application spectrum of microbial proteases for clean and green industrial production (2017, background): “2005) and as amino acid supplements for health foods and pet foods (Gupta and Ramnani 2006).”
