Physics-based modeling provides predictive understanding of selectively promiscuous substrate binding by Hsp70 chaperones.

To help cells cope with protein misfolding and aggregation, Hsp70 molecular chaperones selectively bind a variety of sequences ("selective promiscuity"). Statistical analyses from substrate-derived peptide arrays reveal that DnaK, the E. coli Hsp70, binds to sequences containing three to f...
