Hello, Mlpatton, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer Review Done by Jessica Reyes

First Section:

• All I can say it GREAT! Extremely easy to follow and 100% understandable. You relate it to real world material which makes it interesting and relatable.

Structure:

• The beginning part of this section is great but towards the end it dives into a lot of science related terminology which can confusing to people who do not have a lot of knowledge in the area. This can be fixed with light simply explanations after in-depth scientific explanations.

Synthesis:

• I did not see any changes needed, again great job!

Properties:

• Minor spelling errors, I went ahead and made those corrections.

• Over all great job! Especially the last sentence giving a brief explanation of why alpha-keratin loses strength under high water content.

Type 1 and Type 2:

• Over all good, but needs a little more explanation on what makes them acidic or basic. The reader should leave without any assumptions. Is it do to more acidic amino acids being present or? Jasper94574 (talk) 20:49, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

The figure in the alpha-keratin entry is confusing/wrong

The first figure in the alpha keratin entry does not really resemble a coiled-coil. The way it's presented makes it look like collagen or DNA. Please update or delete.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex Molfetas (talk • contribs) 16:43, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
