“…By directly observing the conformational dynamics of individual clients upon interaction with molecular chaperones over time, which has typically been inaccessible using other ensemble or single-molecule confocal-based approaches ( 18 , 19 , 33 ), we have been able to validate the mechanisms by which these different chaperone classes interact with their clients. The findings of this study, as well as others ( 19 , 21 , 49 ), show that the entropic pulling of client proteins by DnaK helps to resolve folding-incompetent, misfolded structures and that chaperones can conformationally remodel the client for subsequent refolding attempts.…”
