The widespread applications of benzophenone (BP) photochemistry in biological chemistry,
bioorganic chemistry, and material science have been prominent in both academic and …

Chaperones and co-chaperones enable protein folding and degradation, safeguarding the
proteome against proteotoxic stress. Chaperones display dynamic responses to exogenous …

Background: Oxidative stress-induced retinal degeneration is among the main contributing
factors of serious ocular pathologies that can lead to irreversible blindness. αB-crystallin …

Background The demonstration of chaperone-like activity in peptides (mini-chaperones)
derived from α-crystallin's chaperone region has generated significant interest in exploring …

Purpose.: The chaperone proteins, α-crystallins, also possess antiapoptotic properties. The
purpose of the present study was to investigate whether 19 to 20-mer α-crystallin–derived …

The small heat shock protein (sHsp) family is a group of proteins in which some are induced
in response to external stimuli, such as environmental and pathological stresses, while …

α-Crystallin is the archetypical chaperone of the small heat-shock protein family, all
members of which contain the so-called “α-crystallin domain”(ACD). This domain and the N …

Transparency in the lens is accomplished by the dense packing and short-range order
interactions of the crystallin proteins in fiber cells lacking organelles. These features are …

Purpose The purpose of this article was to review recent advances in the applications of
nanotechnology in cataract treatment and prevention strategies. Design A literature review …

Proteins adsorb onto a nanoparticle surface to form a protein–nanoparticle corona which
becomes the identity of the nanoparticle in the cellular environment. Conformation of the …
