Abstract excerpt
Human gammaD-crystallin (HgammaD-Crys) is a monomeric eye lens protein composed of two highly homologous beta-sheet domains. The domains interact through interdomain side chain contacts forming two structurally distinct regions, a central hydrophobic cluster and peripheral residues. The hydrophobic cluster contains Met43, Phe56, and Ile81 from the N-terminal domain (N-td) and Val132, Leu145, and Val170 from the...
