Chaperonins are oligomeric proteins that help other proteins fold. They act, according to the "Anfinsen cage" or "box of infinite dilution" model, to provide private space, protected from aggregation, where a protein can fold. Recent evidence indicates, however, that proteins are often ejected from
The process of protein folding in the cell is now known to depend on the action of other proteins. These proteins include molecular chaperones, which interact non-covalently with proteins as they fold and improve the final yields of active protein in the cell. The precise mechanism by which molecula
