Abstract excerpt
The purpose of our study was to determine the effects of specific truncations on the structural properties of human betaA3-crystallin. The following eight deletion mutants of betaA3-crystallin were generated: (i) N-terminal extension (NTE) 21 amino acids (betaA3[21] mutant), (ii) NTE 22 amino acids (betaA3[22] mutant), (iii) NTE (betaA3[N] mutant), (iv) NTE plus motif I (betaA3[N+I] mutant), (v) NTE plus motifs I...
