Mechanism of the Efficient Tryptophan Fluorescence Quenching in Human γD-Crystallin Studied by Time-Resolved Fluorescence

Human γD-crystallin (HγD-Crys) is a two-domain, β-sheet eye lens protein found in the lens nucleus. Its long-term solubility and stability are important to maintain lens transparency throughout life. HγD-Crys has four highly conserved buried tryptophans (Trps), with two in each of the homologous β-s...
