Role of short-range protein interactions in lens opacifications.

Molecular vision - 10 Aug 2006

Ponce Aldo, Sorensen Christopher, Takemoto Larry

Abstract excerpt

At high protein concentrations found in the lens, short-range order of lens proteins results in a medium of relatively constant protein density and refractive index that minimizes scattering of light. During aging and cataractogenesis of the lens, formation of high molecular weight aggregates cau...
