Molecular Chaperones

From the reviews:“This book details current methods and protocols essential for understanding the biological properties and roles of the molecular chaperones … . It appears to be written for all scientists interested in understanding the roles of molecular chaperones, which would include students and researchers interested in heat shock proteins. … This will be a useful guide for all scientists interested in the field of heat shock proteins and molecular chaperones and their role in health and disease.” (Omer Iqbal, Doody’s Book Reviews, December, 2011)
