Preston Hazen (Ph.D. Student) publishes as first author in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. The title: Binding of βL-Crystallin with Models of Animal and Human Eye Lens-Lipid Membrane elucidates the role of lipids and cholesterol in the binding of β-crystallin to the membrane and the membrane’s physical properties (mobility, order, and hydrophobicity) with β-crystallin binding. Preston is a student in Dr. Laxman Mainali’s Lab (Faculty). The Mainali Lab continues to use biophysical techniques like electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to investigate molecules associated with age and cataract formation.
