AI Technical Summary
Current methods for extracting proteins from biological materials, such as keratin-based structures, often damage the protein structures due to harsh conditions, leading to incomplete or unstable protein recovery, particularly for complex multi-level structures like keratin, which are challenging to dissolve and process without breaking chemical bonds.
A method using mild and selective oxidation with potassium iodate (KIO3) at room temperature under light protection to oxidize proteins, controlling reaction time to achieve precise extraction of multi-level protein structures, avoiding the destruction of protein bonds and maintaining structural integrity.
This method effectively preserves the natural micro- and nano-structure of proteins, enabling the production of high-performance protein-based functional materials with improved efficiency, control, and environmental friendliness, suitable for various protein types including keratin, collagen, and others.
