Molecular chaperones in cellular protein folding Journal Article

Article Title: Molecular chaperones in cellular protein folding
Abstract: The discovery of “molecular chaperones” has dramatically changed our concept of cellular protein folding. Rather than folding spontaneously, most newly synthesized polypeptide chains seem to acquire their native conformation in a reaction mediated by these versatile helper proteins. Understanding the structure and function of molecular chaperones is likely to yield useful applications for medicine and biotechnology in the future. Copyright © 1994 Cambridge University Press
