Abstract excerpt
The 70 kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) play important roles in preventing the misfolding of proteins and repairing damage under stress by coupling ATP binding and hydrolysis to protein substrate release and binding, respectively. ATP binding is believed to induce closing of the Hsp70 nucleotide binding domain (NBD) around the nucleotide. We report here a combined computational-experimental study of this...
