  • Anisotropy measurements, probing the freedom of motion of different regions of the GroEL bound protein, revealed that there is a segmental release of the substrate protein from the GroEL surface upon binding of ATP and GroES. (uni-muenchen.de)
  • It is anticipated that this integrated approach will lead to an in depth understanding of the folding pathways of these diverse protein systems. (elsevierpure.com)
  • Are these processes different for each protein or are there general rules that are common to all proteins? (elsevierpure.com)
