General description

β-Crystallin is the most heterogeneous of the crystallin classes, with at least six different gene products, at least ten different post-translational modifications, and quaternary structure variants from dimers to octamers. However, all sequences are highly conserved through evolution.

Application

βL-Crystallin is one of the major lens proteins that aggregates under UV. A chaperone mixture of D-pathethine and N-acetyl carnosine has the ability to slow down the rate of photoaggregatin βL-Crystallin, and may be important in the prevention of cataract.

The damage produced by UV-C radiation (100-280nm) in organisms and cells is a well known fact. The main reactions of proteins to UV-C radiation consist in the alteration of their secondary structures, exposure of hydrophobic residues, unfolding and aggregation. Furthermore

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
