The Trigger Factor Chaperone Encapsulates and Stabilizes Partial Folds of Substrate Proteins.

How chaperones interact with protein chains to assist in their folding is a central open question in biology. Obtaining atomistic insight is challenging in particular, given the transient nature of the chaperone-substrate complexes and the large system sizes. Recent single-molecule experiments have...
