184 p. Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2005. Isolation, cloning and sequencing of the cDNAs encoding for the toothfish crystallins revealed a total of 21 isoforms (2 alphas, 6 betas, and 13 gammas). Phylogenetic analyses suggest that toothfish alpha and beta crystallins a...
