I Need Help Solubilizing Keratin

I essentially need to dissolve a substance with a high percentage of keratin.

 

The tricky, counter intuitive, conundrum is dissolving something without drastically altering its molecular structure.

 

This is because the substance/liquid will then be "re-polymerized" back into a solid filament.

 

 

FTIR scan practically identical to hair. We are using FTIR to basically take a before dissolving and after dissolving shot, if they look similar we can move on to the next step.

 

Thank you in advance for any responses or contributions, I appreciate it.
