Abstract excerpt
Human lens gammaC-crystallin and T5P mutant were cloned, and their biophysical properties and thermodynamic stability were studied. CRYGC (T5P) is one of the many gamma-crystallin mutant genes for autosomal dominant congenital cataracts. This mutation is associated with Coppock-like cataract, and has the phenotype of a dust-like opacity of the fetal lens nucleus. During cloning and overexpression, the majority of...
