Deskripsi

Chaperonins (CPNs) are ATP-dependent protein-folding machines. Here the authors present the open and closed crystal structures of a Group III CPN from the thermophilic bacterium Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans, discuss its mechanism and structurally compare it with Group I and II CPNs.
