Abstract excerpt
The function of GroE requires a complex system of allosteric communication driven by protein-nucleotide interactions. These rearrangements couple the binding and hydrolysis of ATP to an overall reaction cycle in which substrate proteins are bound, encapsulated and released. Positive cooperativity with respect to ATP binding occurs within one heptameric ring of GroEL, while negative cooperativity between the two...
