Table 7. Parent crystallins of spots present in a 2D gel of WI proteins from cataractous lenses
Identification of parent crystallins of spots present in the 2D gel of WI protein fractions of cataractous lenses with nuclear opacity from 50-60 year old donors (Figure 7) by tryptic peptide fingerprinting mass spectrometry. Molecular weights were determined based on migration of protein markers. "UD" indicates undetermined. In the cleavage column, "C" indicates C-terminus cleavage and "N" indicates N-terminus cleavage.
