The binding of the small heat-shock protein αB-crystallin to fibrils of α-synuclein is driven by entropic forces
Molecular chaperones are key components of the cellular proteostasis network whose role includes the suppression of the formation and proliferation of pathogenic aggregates associated with neurodegenerative diseases. The molecular principles that allow chaperones to recognize misfolded and aggregate...
