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 ...

Infections or diseases are not just stressful for the one who encounters it. The pathogens causing the same also have to deal with the hostile environment present in the host. The maintenance of physiological homeostatic ...

Molecular chaperones have emerged in recent years as major players in many aspects of cell biology. Molecular chaperones are also known as heat shock proteins (HSPs) since many were originally discovered due to their increased ...

Heat shock protein 90 is one of the most abundant and evolutionary conserved class of molecular chaperones present throughout the biological kingdom. It is a specialist chaperone as its function extends beyond protein ...

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 ...
