Abstract excerpt
The Pro23 to Thr (P23T) mutation in human gammaD-crystallin (HGD) shows several cataract phenotypes. We found earlier [A. Pande, O. Annunziata, N. Asherie, O. Ogun, G.B. Benedek, J. Pande, Decrease in protein solubility and cataract formation caused by the Pro23 to Thr mutation in human gamma D-crystallin, Biochemistry 44 (2005) 2491-2500] that the mutation dramatically lowers the solubility of P23T but the...
