— Background: Abnormal phosphorylation of proteins is associated with a number of human diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and diabetes. Due to their role as phosphorlyators, kinases are popular drug targets. However, the difficulty of selectively phosphorylating a desired substra…

— Researchers developed these knock-in mice by using homologous recombination to clone the R120G mutation into exon 3 of the αB-crystallin gene (cryab). αB-crystallin (cryAB) helps to maintain protein stability in the eye lens, which is necessary for transparency. The R120G mutation causes…
