Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The molecular chaperone function of αB-crystallins is heavily involved in maintaining lens transparency and the development of cataracts. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to investigate whether divalent metal ion binding improves the stability and αB-crystallin chaperone activity. METHODS: In this study, we have developed an H101G αB-crystallin mutant and compared the surface hydrophobicity,...
