Perspectives

Mark Mayhew, F. Ulrich Hartl

The crystal structure of the chaparonin GroES, which together with GroEL assists in the folding of many proteins in Escherichia coli, is reported in this issue of Science by Mande et al. (p. 203). In this Perspective, M. Mayhew and F. U. Hartl discuss the implications of the new structure for the function of the GroEL:GroES complex.

The authors are in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Cellular Biochemistry and Biophysics Program, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY 10021, USA.
