Abstract:Chaperonin Hsp60, as a protein found in all organisms, is of great
interest in medicine, since it is present in many tissues and can be
used both as a drug and as an object of targeted therapy. Hence, Hsp60
deserves a fundamental comparative analysis to assess its evolutionary
characteristics. It was found that the percent identity of Hsp60 amino
acid sequences both within and between phyla was not high enough to
identify Hsp60s as highly conserved proteins. In turn, their amino acid
composition remained relat… Show more
