Fibrous protein biological applications

Leather is the material made from animal skin by the process of tanning, which entails chemically altering the composition of the skin so as to make it durable and resistant to decay. Leather is therefore not a protein but a protein derivative. Although the tanning process alters the composition of skin, leather retains the fibrous structure and utilitarian functionality that make skin suitable for multifarious applications. Shelter, clothing, and decorative objects made from leather are, unlike skin or hide, stable to physical, chemical, and biological decay under dry or wet conditions (O Flaherty et al. 1965 ... [Pg.357]
