Proposed mechanism of peptide-induced aggregation of soluble crystallins. Stable non-covalent interactions between the αA66-80 peptide and crystallins increases surface hydrophobicity and facilitate formation of aggregation nuclei. The rapid assembly of nuclei with soluble crystallins favors formation of large aggregates.
