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 foldingProkaryotic chaperoninsEukaryotic chaperoninsEvolution of the chaperoninsRefolding of denatured proteinsOrganelle biosynthesisBiomedical aspects
