Viscosity of alpha-crystallin solutions.

Abstract:

:Accommodation in the mammalian lens requires flexure of lens fibres and some redistribution of their contents involving limited viscous flow. Shear-dependent viscosity of bovine alpha-crystallin solutions was determined with the Contraves Low-Shear Rheometer between 4.4 and 347 mg ml(-1), and at 15.5, 25, 30, and 37 degrees C. All solutions showed significant shear thinning, with markedly higher viscosity at physiological levels of approximately 300 mg ml(-1). Viscosity-concentration graphs were similar at low (1.0 s(-1)) and high (94.5 s(-1)) shear rates, indicating low molecular interaction in solution. Arrhenius plots which might have indicated the size of the energy barrier to displacement of molecules or aggregates were inconclusive.
