Phase Separation of a Protein-Water Mixture in Cold Cataract in the Young Rat Lens
Abstract
A remarkable resemblance between the appearance of opacity in lysozyme-salt water mixtures and the development of opacity in cold cataract in the young rat lens is strong evidence that cold cataract is fundamentally a phase separation of the "protein-water binary mixture" in the lens.
