title: Physicochemical characterization and phylogenetic comparison of fish lens proteins.
abstract: The composition of soluble eye lens proteins from four chondropterygiian and fourteen teleostean fishes were analyzed for heterogeneity in MW and pI. Lens proteins from all the fish species studies are distributed in the pI range 4.3-9.0 with polypeptides in the range 17,500-31,000 Da. Phylogenetic trees are constructed based on the observations.
