[A structural study of crystallins in the normal and cataractous crystalline lens by x-ray diffraction].
Nucleus of the normal and cataractous human lenses were studied by means of the X-ray diffraction method. The conformational changes, as it is shown, take place during cataract formation. The similar as in senile cataract, conformational changes of bovine lens crystallins were induced by UV irradiation.
