Structure and Action of Molecular Chaperones: Machines That Assist Protein Folding in the Cell

by Arthur L. Horwich, Christine Slingsby, David Agard, et al.

This unique volume reviews the beautiful architectures and varying mechanical actions of the set of specialized cellular proteins called molecular chaperones, which provide essential kinetic assistance to processes of protein folding and unfolding in the cell. Ranging from multisubunit ring-shaped chaperonin and Hsp100 machines that use their central cavities to bind and compartmentalize action on proteins, to machines that use other topologies of...
