Abstract excerpt
Transparency in the eye lens is maintained via specific, functional interactions among the structural βγ- and chaperone α-crystallins. Here, we report the structure and α-crystallin binding interface of the G18V variant of human γS-crystallin (γS-G18V), which is linked to hereditary childhood-onset cortical cataract. Comparison of the solution nuclear magnetic resonance structures of wild-type and G18V...
