Cryo-EM structure of amyloid fibrils formed by full-length human αA-crystallin with pathogenic mutation R116C

Abstract The aggregation of crystallin proteins in human lens is the primary cause of cataracts, a disease that leads to blindness of tens of millions of people worldwide. Understanding the molecular architectures of these aggregated crystallin proteins can facilitate the development of therapeutic...
