Abstract

These studies show that GAPDH from the calf lens and human lens epithelium undergoes size and charge modifications in the presence of active oxygen species generated from methylene blue and light. The histidine content of the enzyme was reduced by one third. No evidence of increased proteolysis was observed suggesting a nonenzymatic cleavage of enzyme by the photo-oxidants.
