...Krishnagopal Mandal; Sidney Lerman Fluorescence polarization and near UV circular dichroism (CD) studies were performed on four purified human gamma crystallin fractions derived from normal (eye bank lenses) ranging in age from the first decade through the seventh decade. All the four young (first...

...J.N. Liang The browning reaction (or advanced glycation) of calf lens α-crystallin generates chromophores which absorb light at wavelengths above 300 nm. They display an absorption shoulder above 300 nm, a positive circular dichroism band at 320–340 nm, and a blue fluorescence at 460 nm (Ex = 370...

...S. Lerman; K. Mandal The tryptophan residues within the alpha, beta and gamma crystallins (derived from normal human lenses ranging in age from the 1 st through the 7th decade) were examined by fluorescence polarization (FP) and near UV circular dichroism (CD) techniques. These experiments...
