I'm trying to find a histochemical stain for beta-keratin, the type found in Reptilia which is organized in beta-sheets. It's different than alpha-keratin which is found in mammalian skin, hair, nails, etc., and is formed of alpha-helices.
Simple searches have produced results specific to mammals and alpha-keratin. Are there any good stains for beta-keratin?
