Abstract

The first of its kind, this volume presents the latest research findings on the chaperonins, the best studied family of a class of proteins known as molecular chaperones. These findings are changing our view of some fundamental cellular processes involving proteins, especially how proteins fold into their functional conformations.

  • Origins of the new view of protein folding
  • Prokaryotic chaperonins
  • Eukaryotic chaperonins
  • Evolution of the chaperonins
  • Refolding of denatured proteins
  • Organelle biosynthesis
  • Biomedical aspects
