Cells invest a lot of energy in order to get their proteins to fold correctly and attain functionality. It is the functional proteome of a cell that defines the ‘life of a cell’. Cells have therefore employed dedicated ...

Molecular chaperones are a group of proteins which maintain cellular homeostasis by assisting de novo protein folding and their refolding to native state after destabilization due to external stress. They are also known ...

Plants are constantly exposed to pathogens and various environmental stresses, such as cold, salinity and drought. Plants normally respond rapidly to these biotic and abiotic stresses. Efficient perception of biotic and ...

1. Viruses are obligate parasites that hijack the host cell machinery to synthesize their own gene products and for their propagation. In order to establish a successful viral infection, viruses have evolved different ...
