Abstract excerpt
Incidence of age related cataract (ARC) increases by a variety of factors including metabolic and environmental factors. Nonetheless, genetic mutations are responsible for the altered structural stability of the proteins, especially; the F71L mutation in αA-crystallin has been shown to be responsible for the incidence of cataracts. However, structural characteristics and chaperone function of this mutant and its...
