Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli chaperonin GroEL, which is a large cylindrical protein complex comprising two heptameric rings with cavities of 4.5 nm each in the center, assists in intracellular protein folding with the aid of GroES and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Here, we investigated the possibility that GroEL can also encapsulate metal nanoparticles (NPs) up to ∼5 nm in diameter into the cavities with the aid of GroES and...
