SUBSTRATE BINDING SITE FLEXIBILITY OF SMALL HEAT SHOCK PROTEINS AND FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO EFFICIENT CHAPERONE ACTIVITY

sHSPs maintain partially denaturing substrates in a soluble sHSP-substrate complex. The heterogeneous interaction between sHSPs and substrate within the complex has prevented a detailed study of the mechanism of sHSP substrate protection. Here, purified sHSPs and heat sensitive substrates were used...
