Abstract excerpt
The subunit molecular mass of alpha-crystallin, like many small heat-shock proteins (sHsps), is around 20 kDa although the protein exists as a large aggregate of average mass around 800 kDa. Despite this large size, a well-resolved 1H NMR spectrum is observed for alpha-crystallin which arises from short, polar, highly-flexible and solvent-exposed C-terminal extensions in each of the subunits, alpha A- and alpha...
