“…GroEL's cochaperonin partner, GroES, is a smaller structure, a single seven-membered ring of 10-kDa subunits (Hunt et al, 1996;Mande et al, 1996) (Fig. 2) that binds at one or both ends of the GroEL cylinder in the presence of nucleotide (Chandrasekhar et al, 1986;Saibil et al, 1991;Langer et al, 1992;Schmidt et al, 1994b), producing an upward and outward opening of the GroEL apical domains, which nearly doubles the volume of the central channel ( Fig.…”
