Specifically, it evaluates the natures of incipient aggregation in Human Gamma D crystallin and the nature of its interactions with CAPEGn, an electrostatic blocker. Additionally, this thesis evaluates whether Collagen type II growth kinetics follows Classical nucleation theory.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Structural ProteinLight scatteringCollagenHuman Gamma D CrystallinProteinAggregatesBiochemistryBiophysicsthesishttps://orcid.org/0000-0003-4166-384X
