These findings are changing our view of some fundamental cellular processes involving proteins, especially how proteins fold into their functional conformations. Key Features * Origins of the new view of protein folding * Prokaryotic chaperonins * Eukaryotic chaperonins * Evolution of the chaperonins * Refolding of denatured proteins * Organelle biosynthesis * Biomedical aspects.
