Abstract:
The bacterial chaperonin complex - consisting of the proteins GroEL and GroES - assists the folding of newly synthesized proteins by transiently encapsulating them in a nanometre-scale cage. Visualizing this process using cryo-electron tomography in the intact cellular environment provides insights into the chaperonin reaction cycle in vivo.
