Abstract excerpt
Earlier studies have shown significant loss of chaperone activity in alpha-crystallin from diabetic lenses. In vitro glycation studies have suggested that glycation of alpha-crystallin could be the major cause of chaperone activity loss. The following lysine (K) residues in alpha-crystallin have...
