The alpha form of this protein contains a repeating seven unit pattern which forms a structure called a coiled coil.
This protein produced during cornification contains several dimers which form a single protofilament, which then form higher level protofibrils, microfibrils, and macrofibrils. The alpha form of this protein contains a repeating seven unit pattern which forms a structure called a coiled coil. That form is classified by the number of disulfide bridges it contains, which can be curled by application of an oxidizing agent as performed during a (*) perm. For 10 points, name this hard protein found in claws and fingernails.
