The dynamic conformational cycle of the group I chaperonin C-termini revealed via molecular dynamics simulation.

Chaperonins are large ring shaped oligomers that facilitate protein folding by encapsulation within a central cavity. All chaperonins possess flexible C-termini which protrude from the equatorial domain of each subunit into the central cavity. Biochemical evidence suggests that the termini play an i...
