Insights to Human gammaD-Crystallin Unfolding by NMR Spectroscopy and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Human ?D-crystallin (HGDC) is an abundant lens protein residing in the nucleus of the human lens. Aggregation of this and other structural proteins within the lens leads to the development of cataract. Much has been explored on the stability and aggregation of HGDC and where detailed investigation at the atomic resolution was needed, the X-ray structure was used as an initial starting conformer for
molecular modeling. In this study, we implemented NMR-solution HGDC structures as starting...
