Molecular Chaperones

This book, which arises from a Royal Society discussion meeting, reviews all aspects of the subject.

The general concept of molecular chaperones, R. John ellis; the role of nucleoplasmin in chromatin assembly and disassembly, R.A. Laskey, et al; the "Escherichia coli" chaperones involved in DNA replication, Maciej Zylicz; the role of heat-shock proteins in thermotolerance, Dawn A. Parsell, et al; what does protein refolding "in vitro" tell us about protein folding in the cell?, R. Jaenicke; chaperonins and protein folding - unity and disunity of mechanisms, George H. Lorimer, et al; a chaperonin from a thermophylic bacterium, "Thermus thermophilus", Masasuke Yoshida, et al; protein folding in the cell - functions of two families of molecular chaperone, hsp 60 and TF55-TCP1, Arthur L. Horwich and Keith Willison; heat shock proteins functioning as molecular chaperones - their roles in normal and stressed cells, William J. Welch; the role of molecular chaperones in protein transport into the endoplasmic reticulum, Thomas Dierks, et al; recognition of ligands by SecB, a molecular chaperone involved in bacterial protein export, S.J.S. Hardy and L.L. Randall; roles of molecular chaperones in protein targeting to mitochondria, W. Neupert and N. Pfanner; molecular chaperones and the immune response, Douglas Young, et al; tumour suppressor genes and molecular chaperones, David P. Lane, et al.
