tallins (5). Among the lens crystallins, only the highly homologous g-crystallins have a free N-terminus. The g-crystallins are a major constituent of the water-insoluble portion of the lens, which is thought to be a precur-

The uncertainty about the predominant glycation of Lens gB-Crystallin by Fast Atom site of gB-crystallin is due to the close proximity of two
