Abstract excerpt
The chaperonin GroEL is an essential chaperone that assists in protein folding with the aid of GroES and ATP. GroEL forms a double-ring structure, and both rings can bind GroES in the presence of ATP. Recent progress on the GroEL mechanism has revealed the importance of a symmetric 1:2 GroEL:GroES2 complex (the "football"-shaped complex) as a critical intermediate during the functional GroEL cycle. We determined...
