Molecular Chaperones

Key figures in many disciplines review all aspects of molecular chaperones in this volume, which arises from a Royal Society discussion meeting. Overview chapters discuss the significance of chaperones in biochemistry, molecular genetics and cell biology. Each chapter is well referenced to give access to the literature. Currently, a major topic in biochemistry, the concept of molecular chaperones has overturned the paradigm of protein self-assembly. This book should be of interest to researchers in biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology and biotechnology.
