CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF WILD TYPE DUCK DELTA 1 CRYSTALLIN (EYE LENS PROTEIN)CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF WILD TYPE DUCK DELTA 1 CRYSTALLIN (EYE LENS PROTEIN)
Structural highlights
1hy0 is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Anas platyrhynchos. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
ARLY1_ANAPL Delta crystallin, the principal crystallin in embryonic lens, is found only in birds and reptiles. Despite possessing the necessary catalytic residues, this protein does not function as an enzymatically active argininosuccinate lyase.[1]
