Hydrophobic Core Mutations Associated with Cataract Development in Mice Destabilize Human γD-Crystallin

The human eye lens is composed of fiber cells packed with crystallins up to 450 mg/ml. Human γD-crystallin (HγD-Crys) is a monomeric, two-domain protein of the lens central nucleus. Both domains of this long lived protein have double Greek key β-sheet folds with well packed hydrophobic cores. Three...
