Abstract:The protein folding of a nascent polypeptide is\ud
the decoding of the linear information contained\ud
in the primary sequence into the native and functionally\ud
active three-dimensional conformation.\ud
Chaperone proteins and folding catalysts may\ud
contribute to successful folding into the native\ud
and active protein conformation in the crowded\ud
cellular environment, thus avoiding aggregation\ud
of non-native protein forms. Molecular chaperones\ud
in vivo play a pivotal role in the maintenance of\ud
