Molecular Chaperones of Leishmania: Central Players in Many Stress-Related and -Unrelated Physiological Processes

Molecular chaperones are key components in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and survival, not only during stress but also under optimal growth conditions. Folding of nascent polypeptides is supported by molecular chaperones, which avoid the formation of aggregates by preventing nonspecific in...
