👉 In mathematics, keratolysis refers to a process by which a protein crystal undergoes a loss of crystallinity. This occurs when a protein crystal loses its ability to form a three-dimensional lattice structure due to a change in its chemical environment or upon its exposure to heat or other stimuli. Keratolysis can occur at any stage during the formation of a protein crystal, and it is often associated with the formation of disordered proteins, such as those that are involved in aging processes.
