Abstract
We had previously shown that glutathione reductase was inactivated by glycation, and decided to use this model system to see whether bovine alpha-crystallin could provide protection, and whether its modification had an effect. Other proteins were used as a comparison. Both forms of alpha-crystallin prevented loss of enzyme activity on incubation with fructose. No such protection was profferred by the other proteins, suggesting bovine alpha-crystallin acted in a chaperone-like manner.
