## Abstract The discovery of βmolecular chaperonesβ has dramatically changed our concept of cellular protein folding. Rather than folding spontaneously, most newly synthesized polypeptide chains seem to acquire their native conformation in a reaction mediated by these versatile helper proteins. Und

Newly made polypeptide chains require the help of molecular chaperones not only to rapidly reach their final three-dimensional forms, but also to unfold and then correctly refold them back to their biologically active form should they misfold. Most prions are an unusual type of protein that can exis

## Abstract The 90 kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp90) are responsible for the conformational maturation of nascent polypeptides and the renaturation of denatured proteins. In transformed cells, numerous mutated and overexpressed proteins rely on the Hsp90 protein folding machinery for tumor progressio
