Inside Front Cover: The human crystalline lens is composed of densely packed biopolymers that are constantly exposed to UV light throughout life and whose dysfunction leads to cataract. High‐resolution protein NMR spectroscopy identified the early onset of molecular UV‐B damage of aromatic amino acids in γD crystallin as part of the photoprotective capacity of the lens. This is reported by Jochen...
In the human eye lenses, the crystallin proteins facilitate transparency, light refraction, as well as UV light protection. A deregulated balanced interplay between α‐, β‐, and γ‐crystallin can cause cataract. γD‐crystallin (hγD) is involved in the energy dissipation of absorbed UV light by energy transfer between aromatic side chains. Early UV‐B induced damage of hγD with molecular resolution is...
