What is keratin's monomer?

Keratin's monomer is the amino acid. Specifically, keratin is a fibrous protein composed of long chains of amino acids that are linked together by peptide bonds. The primary amino acids in keratin include cysteine, which contains sulfur and forms disulfide bonds that contribute to the protein's strength and stability.


What is the monomer in wool?

Wool is made of the protein keratin. Amino acids are the building blocks (monomers) of proteins. Keratins are composed of amino acids, primarily the amino acids glycine and alanine. Given the wide variety of keratins, both alpha and beta, no single chemical composition or monomer can be defined. There are over 20 different amino acids that make up keratins. Cysteine can account for up to 24% of the keratin structure.
