Methods for regulating protein conformation using molecular chaperones

摘要

The present invention provides a method for regulating the confirmation of proteins using molecular chaperones. The chaperones of the present invention are applicable to a variety of protein conformational problems including misfolding and aggregation. A molecular chaperone system of the present invention includes the DnaK system and ClpB which provides a particularly effective tool for regulating protein conformation. A further subject of the present invention is a cochaperone ClpS.
