Abstract excerpt
The chaperonin GroEL assists protein folding through ATP-dependent, cooperative movements that alternately create folding chambers in its two rings. The substitution E461K at the interface between these two rings causes temperature-sensitive, defective protein folding in Escherichia coli. To unde...
