Stability, unfolding, and aggregation of the gamma D and gamma S human eye lens crystallins
The transparency of the human eye lens depends on the properties of the a- crystallin and py-crystallin families of proteins, which accumulate to very high concentrations in mature lens fiber cells. The 0- and y-crystallins are thought to be primarily structural proteins while a-crystallin possess …

Folding, stability and aggregation of the long-lived eye lens protein human gamma D crystallin
Human [gamma]D crystallin (H[gamma]D-Crys) is a monomeric, two domain, primarily P-sheet protein found in high concentrations in the human eye lens. H[gamma]D-Crys and other crystallins are found in insoluble protein inclusions associated with the eye disease cataract. H[gamma]D-Crys is expressed …

Characterization of the unfolding, refolding, and aggregation pathways of two protein implicated in cataractogenesis : human gamma D and human gamma S crystallin
Human [gamma]D crystallin (H[gamma]D-Crys) and human [gamma]S crystallin (H[gamma]S-Crys), are major proteins of the human eye lens and are components of cataracts. H[gamma]D-Crys is expressed early in life in the lens cortex while H[gamma]S-Crys is expressed throughout life in the lens epithelial …

Transparent Tissues and Porous Thin Films: A Brillouin Light Scattering Study
… affects the response of tissues in the eye that control the focusing of light, while strains within nano-scale films and coatings in the next generation of microelectronic devices could have profound effects on their functionality. Measurement of the elastic properties of such microscale …

The characterization of human [gamma]D-crystallin mutants and their differential interactions with the lens chaperone [alpha]B-crystallin
… blindness worldwide, is the opacification of the eye lens. In.age-related cataract, as well as roughly one half of congenital cataract cases, aggregation or precipitation of crystallin proteins results in the formation of large structures that scatter light, preventing the pinpoint focusing on the …
