    About this ebook

    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
