Lens Protein Disulfide Bonds
- Molecular classification
- Protein modification, Covalent bond
01
Overview
Disulfide bonds are covalent linkages formed between cysteine residues in lens crystallin proteins. They are crucial for maintaining lens structure, flexibility, and transparency. Aberrant disulfide bond formation, particularly intermolecular bonds, leads to protein aggregation, contributing to cataract formation and presbyopia. Therapeutic strategies aim to reduce inappropriate disulfide crosslinks and restore normal redox balance within the lens.
