Structure of Hair
  1. alpha keratin is an elongated alpha helix
    1. pairs of helices are intertwined in a left-handed way to form two-chain coils.
      1. combine to form protofilaments and protofibrils. about 4 protofibrils combine to form an intermediate filament
      2. hair = array of many alpha keratin filaments
        1. When hair is exposed to heat and a reducing agent it can be stretched because heat breaks hydrogen bonds and reduces disulphide bonds to form two cysteine residues
