Crystallins are studied using various techniques, including:
- X-ray Crystallography: To determine the three-dimensional structure of crystallins at atomic resolution. - Mass Spectrometry: For analyzing post-translational modifications and protein interactions. - Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy: To study the dynamics and structure of crystallins in solution. - Electron Microscopy: To visualize the ultrastructure of lens fibers and crystallin aggregates.
