The Impact of Hidden Structure on Aggregate Disassembly by Molecular Chaperones
Protein aggregation, or the uncontrolled self-assembly of partially folded proteins, is an ever-present danger for living organisms. Unimpeded, protein aggregation can result in severe cellular dysfunction and disease. A group of proteins known as molecular chaperones is responsible for dismantling...
