The keratinolytic enzymes in the different families may play different roles in the keratin degrading process, due to differences in their active sites, the preferred substrate cleavage sites and recognition of amino acid length. The family S9 exo-keratinases may play a key role in attacking products from endo-protease hydrolyzed keratin protein (Lange et al., 2016; Mercer and Stewart, 2019) , but is not highly efficient in directly degrading keratin. To obtain amino acids from keratin-rich materials using keratinolytic enzymes, a preliminary degradation of disulfide bonds is necessary to loosen the keratin structure and make the amino acid chains available for keratinase attack (Gupta et al., 2013b; Peng et al., 2019) . ./cache/cord-341265-esc55vwj.txt ./txt/cord-341265-esc55vwj.txt
