Local unfolding of the HSP27 monomer regulates chaperone activity

The small heat-shock protein HSP27 occurs predominantly in oligomeric forms, which makes its structural characterisation challenging. Here the authors employ CPMG and high-pressure NMR with native mass spectrometry and biophysical assays to show that the active monomeric form of HSP27 is substantial...
