Abstract excerpt
The topologically similar βγ-crystallins that are prevalent in all kingdoms of life have evolved for high innate domain stability to perform their specialized functions. The evolution of stability and its control in βγ-crystallins that possess either a canonical (mostly from microorganisms) or degenerate (principally found in vertebrate homologues) Ca2+-binding motif is not known. Using equilibrium unfolding of...
