This may clarify some parts: <br /> "β-keratin or beta-keratin (not to be confused with β-carotene) is rich in stacked β pleated sheets, in contrast to alpha-keratin, a fibrous protein rich in alpha helices.<br />β-keratin is found in reptiles.[1][2] It adds much more rigidity to reptilian skin than alpha-keratin does to mammalian skin. β-keratin is impregnated into the stratum corneum of the reptilian skin, providing waterproofing and the prevention of desiccation." --WikipediaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389908172295069646noreply@blogger.com
