Development Of Free-Energy Based Models For Chaperonin Containing TCP-1 Mediated Folding Of Actin

�Molecular chaperones are proteins that help other proteins fold into their characteristic 3D form. The chaperon CCT (Chaperonin Containing TCP-1) plays a vital persona in fold cellular cytoskeletal proteins that are intimately involved in cell structure, division and locomotion.


The mechanism of CCT action is important to current cancer inquiry and is not to the full understood. This article introduces a novel theoretical view, using a free-energy
