This structure shows <scene name='78/781195/Lys72/1'>Lys 72</scene>. When this amino acid is acetylated, there might be an increase the chaperone activity for the protein. Chaperon activity is highly necessary because it plays a critical role in maintaining lens transparency. <ref>PMID:22120592</ref> | |||
