Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gammad-crystallin plays an important role in human cataract formation. Being highly stable, gammaD-crystallin proteins are composed of two domains. In this study we constructed and analyzed protein models of the mutant gammaD-crystallin gene, which caused a special fasciculiform congenital cataract affecting a large Chinese family. METHODS: gammaD-crystallin protein structure was predicted by...
