Rate of Synthesis of Hair α-Keratin Hair grows at a rate of 15 to 20 cm/yr. All this growth is concentrated at the base of the hair fiber, where α-keratin filaments are synthesized inside living epidermal cells and assembled into ropelike struc-tures (see Fig. 4-11). The fundamental structural element of α-keratin is the α helix, which has 3.6 amino acid residues per turn and a rise of 5.4 Å per turn (see Fig. 4-4a).
Assuming that the biosynthesis of α-helical keratin chains is the rate-limiting factor in the growth of hair,
calculate the rate at which peptide bonds of α-keratin chains must be synthesized (peptide bonds per second) to account for the observed yearly growth of hair.
