abstract：:Different post-translational changes in eye lens crystallin proteins contribute towards the development of cataract. We have studied in vitro oxidative modification of tryptophan (Trp) residues of human γD-crystallin (HGD) towards formation of N-formylkynurenine (NFK) associated with cataractogenesis. This oxidation w...
