The Effect of Arg on the Structure Perturbation and Chaperone Activity of [alpha]-Crystallin in the Presence of the Crowding Agent, Dextran

[alpha]-Crystallin is a protein that is expressed at high levels in all vertebrate eye lenses. It has a molecular weight of 20 kDa and is composed of two subunits: [alpha]A and [alpha]B. [alpha]-Crystallin is a member of the small heat shock protein (sHsps) family that has been shown to prevent prot...

Zusammenfassung:[alpha]-Crystallin is a protein that is expressed at high levels in all vertebrate eye lenses. It has a molecular weight of 20 kDa and is composed of two subunits: [alpha]A and [alpha]B. [alpha]-Crystallin is a member of the small heat shock protein (sHsps) family that has been shown to prevent protein aggregation. Small molecules are organic compounds that have low molecular weight (
