Protein folding and the role of molecular chaperones.

Living systems host a crowd of molecular chaperones that act with different mechanisms and serve to maintain protein homeostasis. Our group studies nuclear and cytosolic chaperones. Among the cytosolic chaperones we are interested in members of the Hsp60, Hsp70 and Hsp100 families.
