Phase separation of a protein-water mixture in cold cataract in the young rat lens

T Tanaka, C Ishimoto, and LT Chylack Jr

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.
