===Structures of keratins=== Hanukoglu's career in molecular biology started at the Department of Biochemistry of the [[University of Chicago]] (1980β1983 with [[Elaine Fuchs]]), where he cloned and sequenced cDNAs coding for cytoskeletal proteins, actin<ref name="pmid6842590">{{cite journal | vauthors = Hanukoglu I, Tanese N, Fuchs E | title = Complementary DNA sequence of a human cytoplasmic actin.

By computerized analysis of amino acid sequences he predicted that the central rod domain of intermediate filament proteins is composed of four helical segments separated by three short linker sequences. Later crystallographic studies have confirmed this as a general model for intermediate filament protein structure.<ref name="pmid22705788">{{cite journal | vauthors = Lee CH, Kim MS, Chung BM, Leahy DJ, Coulombe PA | title = Structural basis for heteromeric assembly and perinuclear organization of keratin filaments | journal = Nature Structural & Molecular Biology | volume = 19 | issue = 7 | pages = 707β15 | date = Jul 2012 | pmid = 22705788 | doi = 10.1038/nsmb.2330 | pmc=3864793}}</ref><ref name="Hanukoglu-2014">{{Cite journal | vauthors = Hanukoglu I, Ezra L | title = Proteopedia: Coiled-coil structure of keratins. | journal = Biochem Mol Biol Educ | volume = 42 | issue = 1 | pages = 93β94 |date=Jan 2014 | doi = 10.1002/bmb.20746 | pmid = 24265184| s2cid = 30720797 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
