Deuterated gammaE crystallin in H2O solvent
Structural highlights
FunctionCRGE_RAT Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedRat gammaE-crystallin was overexpressed, purified under different labelling conditions and crystallized and X-ray data were collected at resolutions between 1.71 and 1.36 A. The structures were determined by molecular replacement. In these structures, the cd loop of the Greek-key motif 3, which is the major structural key motif of the two phase-transition groups of gamma-crystallins, presents a double conformation. The influence of the perdeuteration on the protein structure was determined by comparison of the atomic positions and temperature factors of the different models. The perdeuterated proteins have a similar structure to their hydrogenated counterparts, but partial or full deuteration may have some effect on the atomic B-factor values.
