Abstract excerpt

This two part study continues and extends our examination of the effects of age and of genetically determined intrinsic growth rate on the overall protein composition of chick lens epithelia, lens fiber masses and whole lenses. Water-soluble proteins were analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide and 2-dime...
